The historic Mankato Event Center is proud to be a part of our lively local community, and grateful for the many community events and activities that make Southern Minnesota such a great place to live. Located in the bustling heart of Mankato, this intimate meeting facility combines modern amenities with classic Victorian charm.

Built-in A/V equipment makes this meeting room ideal for hosting a wide range of community events, and includes a projector and large screen along with a recently upgraded sound system and stage lights – ideal for delivering presentations or dancing the night away. The use of our tables and chairs is included in your rental, and these can be situated throughout the gathering hall in whatever arrangement best accommodates your needs. The attached commercial kitchen and stylish bar provide plenty of options for food catering and alcohol service for your banquet, fair, reunion, or fundraiser.

Examples of the kinds of community events the Mankato Event Center could accommodate include arts and craft shows, presentations by authors or historians, church and non-profit fundraising meals and events, auctions, swap meets, community clubs and meetups, game nights, cultural events, community planning and organizing workshops, wine and paint nights, musical performances, and many more.
