In 1972, 50 years ago, a group of local business leaders, elected officials, and visionary community members broke ground on an ambitious project – the construction of a facility in the capital of Maine that would support the local economy and community. Their mission was to excite and enrich the good people and businesses of Augusta by bringing the best entertainment, sporting events, conventions, trade shows and community events to the region. They built something truly special in the process.
More than 13,000 events and 25,000,000 guests later, the Augusta Civic Center will celebrate its 50th Anniversary with a year-long celebration in 2023. Through a series of special anniversary events and installments, the Civic Center will continue to provide unforgettable experiences in celebration of 50 years of making memories.
