About

The Dow Event Center has brought the biggest and best entertainment to the Great Lakes Bay Region in Michigan since 1972. Whether you had the chance to see Elvis Presley in one of his final performances, attended shows by Prince and Rick James on the same night, or sang along with country superstar Luke Combs, if you saw a performance at The Dow Event Center, it was an epic experience. Big moments are made here. 

Located in the heart of downtown Saginaw, The Dow Event Center (formerly known as the Saginaw County Event Center and Saginaw Civic Center) has the ability to host a wide range of events including sporting events, concerts, corporate events, fundraisers, meetings, expos, and other social events because it consists of several venues all within one complex: The Atrium, The Garden Room, the Applied Innovation Theatre, the Jolt Celebration Club, the outdoor event park, and Wendler Arena. It is the proud home of the Ontario Hockey League's Saginaw Spirit team and the AF1's Michigan Arsenal indoor arena football team.
