Step into a glamorous night on the red carpet as we celebrate 30 years of inspiring performances, artistic excellence, and community connection at the Performing Arts Center’s 30th Anniversary Celebration!
Inspired by the PAC's inaugural event, the Hard Hat Ball, this unforgettable evening will fill both the outdoor Plaza and the PAC's Christopher Cohan Center with continuous live performances by local artists and entertainment around every corner.
The celebration will also showcase the best of our region with food and beverage offerings from local restaurants, wineries, breweries, distilleries, and more.
Whether you’re a longtime patron, an artist, a supporter, or a first-time visitor, this milestone event is an opportunity to honor this community-built Center’s legacy and look ahead to its exciting future.
