Live Entertainment in Casper

Casper Events Center is Wyoming's most important arena venue — a Casper facility presenting major concerts, sporting events, and family entertainment for Wyoming's second-largest city. Its extraordinary importance as the primary large-scale entertainment venue for the center of Wyoming and its consistent programming of outstanding touring entertainment make it one of the most important arenas in the Mountain West.

Casper's sports and recreation venues serve Wyoming's most centrally located city — a North Platte River community where the extraordinary combination of oil industry wealth, agricultural heritage, and remarkable outdoor recreation access creates a sports culture of unusual Wyoming character. Casper's position at the heart of Wyoming's petroleum economy and its remarkable outdoor recreation access (Casper Mountain, Hogadon ski area, and the North Platte River) create sports events shaped by the working-class Western values that define Wyoming's identity.

Ford Wyoming Center is Casper's major arena and Wyoming's largest indoor entertainment venue — a 10,100-seat facility that brings national concert tours, Wyoming State Fair events, and AHL hockey to the state's second-largest city. As the geographic center of Wyoming, Casper draws entertainment audiences from across the state, from the Powder River Basin oil fields to the Wind River Range recreation communities, making Ford Wyoming Center the de facto entertainment capital of Wyoming's central region.

Nicolaysen Art Museum and Discovery Center serves Wyoming's second-largest city with arts programming, concerts, and cultural events. Its extraordinary commitment to bringing visual arts and performing arts programming to a mid-Wyoming city and its role as Casper's most important cultural institution create a venue that demonstrates the remarkable cultural ambitions of Wyoming's oil patch communities.

Casper Events Center is Wyoming's most active indoor entertainment venue — serving the state's second-largest city with concerts, family entertainment, and community events for the entire Wind River/Platte River Valley region. Casper's position as Wyoming's oil and energy industry hub creates a professional workforce that supports consistent entertainment programming at the state's most active indoor venue outside Cheyenne.
