Nestled within the vibrant Three Rivers Campus in Kennewick, Washington, the Toyota Center offers a seating capacity of 7,200 and hosts an impressive array of over 200 events and meetings annually. This venue has welcomed renowned figures from the music industry, adding to its rich history of iconic performances. The Tri-Cities —Kennewick, Pasco, and Richland — sit at the confluence of the Yakima, Snake, and Columbia Rivers in Eastern Washington's Columbia Basin. Conveniently served by Interstate Highway 82, which connects directly to three transcontinental highways (I-84, I-90, and I-5), this central location makes the Tri-Cities easily accessible from anywhere in the Pacific Northwest. Within a one-mile radius of the Toyota Center, you’ll find eight hotels, including the newly connected SpringHill Suites by Marriott Kennewick/Tri-Cities Hotel near the Three Rivers Convention Center. The Toyota Center takes great pride in being a community-focused venue. Striving to not only provide top-notch entertainment for visitors, but also to create opportunities for local talent to showcase their skills and for businesses to connect with the community through sponsoring events. From local music festivals to charity fundraisers, the Toyota Arena provides a platform for the community to come together and celebrate shared interests.
