What a busy couple of weeks that we've had at The Event Center. Our 13,000 sq. ft. Mt St Helens Expo Hall was buzzing with community members being connected to great resources at both HEVIN 's Stand Down Event as well as 's Resource Fair.

Beautiful Loowit Ballroom is slated to host 's Brunch Gala on Saturday, October 10, 2026 and 's 25th Anniversary Celebration will be back in the Mt St Helens Expo Hall that same evening.

Don't forget to visit across the street on 7th Avenue from 9:00AM - 2:00PM if you're in the area!

We'd love to see you at our upcoming open rides and dog shows! The arena is located at the south end of the grounds at 1900 7th Avenue Longview WA 98632.

Please note: Unless your horse (or pup) is able to produce $100 bills in its waste, please come prepared to clean up after them (hay included) 🤗💩🌾

So honored to continually host the Cowlitz Tribe's annual Powwow. What an important community event!

For the better part of a decade, the Cowlitz County Event Center has been home to the Cowlitz Indian Tribe Powwow, and we’re grateful for the care, hard work, and partnership their team brings to this special gathering each year.

From helping prepare the grounds and facilities to supporting the many details that go into welcoming our community, dancers, singers, vendors, and guests, their work helps make the Powwow the wonderful event it is.

We appreciate all they do and look forward to returning to the Cowlitz County Event Center this Saturday September 26th, 2026 for another meaningful day of culture, community, and celebration.

We host many events throughout our nearly fifty-acre campus. From rodeos to galas, rallies to fashion shows, our grounds have seen a lot come to life. The one thing they all have in common? Volunteers.

Those that show up without expectation of anything in return. There are countless planning and production meetings, details that are ironed out, decor that is placed (sometimes even made at home or on site!) and a tremendous number of unseen hours that go into every single event you see.

Thank a volunteer next time you see one, or better yet? Find your favorite organization and ask how you can get involved!
