The Dennis A. Wicker Civic Center opened
in May of 1991 with an award winning design. Proud
of it's namesake the facility is host to a variety
of events from Educational, Social and Civic gatherings.
Strategically located in Sanford, the heart of North Carolina as
well as Lee County, we are accessible by major highways in all
directions. In addition to the Meeting and Conference rooms the
Center has an Exhibition Hall that dominates the facility. With
a seating capacity of over 1,400 and a large stage, the area is
suitable for concerts, pageants, speakers, and conventions. Divided
into four meeting quadrants, the area may be used for workshops
and planning sessions or for smaller banquets, social gatherings,
annual dinners and award presentations.
In it's rich history the Center has served the surrounding Central
Carolina region with being host to such events as the N.C. Symphony,
Wedding Receptions, Debutante Balls, Chamber Meetings, Retirement
Banquets, Large Political fund raisers, Associational Conferences
including Veterinary Medicine and Trade fairs with attendance being
over 5000.
The gently rolling hills of the Piedmont is home to over 40,000
residents, industries, and a diversity of businesses. The area
contains excellent restaurants, and motels to serve the needs of
our patrons with a wide array of affordable alternatives. One of
the notes visitors are impressed with are the professionally designed
accommodations as well as the knowledgeable and professional staff.
From small classes to large assembles, the Dennis A. Wicker Civic
Center is where you can get down to business or pleasure.
