1. Two unique venues for endless possibilities
Why limit your event to just one space when Eau Claire Event District gives you two spectacular layouts to choose from? Whether your vision leans toward rustic splendor or modern elegance, you’re covered with The High Country and The Crescent, each designed to make your gathering feel one-of-a-kind.
Step into The High Country, and you’ll immediately sense the scale of what’s possible: over 18,000 square feet of event space, enough to seat up to 1,000 indoors. And when the weather’s right, open those overhead doors and bring the outdoors in. The High Country blends indoor comfort with open-air magic, offering sweeping views of the Chippewa Valley and a patio that invites guests to linger under the sky.
Prefer something a little more refined and intimate? The Crescent delivers. With more than 11,000 square feet and seating for up to 650 guests, it’s designed with vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, and striking lighting that makes anything from galas to corporate luncheons feel memorable. The two on-site hospitality suites are ideal for pre-event prep, breakout sessions, or a quiet place to regroup. Step outside, and you’ll find a beautiful patio complete with an outdoor fireplace. The Crescent is often used for wedding dances, dinners, ceremonies, and fabulous photo ops.
So whether you’re dreaming of a dramatic, cathedral-like ceremony, a grand gala under vaulted ceilings, or an inspiring corporate conference with breakout spaces, Eau Claire Event District has both settings ready and waiting. It’s like having a “choose your own experience” built right into the venue.
2. Conveniently located, yet perfectly peaceful
Getting to your event shouldn’t be an adventure of its own, and at Eau Claire Event District, it isn’t. Tucked just off Highway 29 and minutes from I-94, this spot hits that sweet spot between easy-to-reach and wonderfully tucked away. Whether you’re driving in from Minneapolis, Chicago, or right here in the Chippewa Valley, the journey is smooth sailing.
Just a few short minutes drive away, the Sleep Inn & Suites Hotel makes overnight stays a breeze for your guests. No long drives, just a quick shuttle from the comfort of a hotel room to the excitement of your event. And even though it’s only a few minutes outside of Eau Claire, the Event District still gives you that countryside calm. You’ll feel surrounded by open space and fresh air, but close enough to all the restaurants, attractions, and other accommodations and hotels that make Eau Claire such a fun place to explore. It’s the best of both worlds—easy access and peaceful surroundings all in one!
