About The City Center
The City Center sits in downtown Champaign at 505 S Chestnut St, Champaign, IL 61820, a short walk from the University of Illinois campus. The room hosts touring and local artists year round, and doubles as one of the region’s largest private event spaces — sorority and fraternity formals, corporate events, fundraisers, wedding receptions, class reunions, and DJ dance parties.
Shows are 19+ unless accompanied by a parent, and a valid photo ID is required for entry. Parking is free in the lots to the north and east of the building. See the Info / FAQ page for age requirements, prohibited items, and parking details, or get in touch at (217) 336-7899.
