As summer begins to fade, one of the Fall greetings most people welcome is the changing of leaves’ colors. One of the best places to see fall foliage is in central Pennsylvania, home to great Fall activities like hiking and biking trails, historic sites, and festivals.

If you’re looking for a large space to hold an event or meeting, the Blair County Convention Center in Altoona has these great scenes as the backdrop of their convention center. The facility boasts over 50,000 square feet of indoor meeting space, 11 meeting rooms, and an 1800 capacity theatre to accommodate groups up to 2000.

Equipped with high-speed & wireless Internet, full service business center, in-house technicians, computer communications room, and built in screens, your meetings will run efficiently and effectively with Blair County Convention Center’s team.

For special events, their full-service culinary staff can cater all of your dining needs for your guests or attendees. Take advantage of their indoor and outdoor space to truly create a unique event.

With a walkway to a Courtyard Marriott, your guests can easily extend their stay and take the time to explore what Blair County has to offer. For example, just a short drive away is Horseshoe Curve, a horseshoe-shaped railroad track built in 1854. Guests can take a funicular to the top to watch trains roll through this engineering marvel.

After your day of meetings, your guests can also take in an Altoona Curve game, whose season extends into September. The minor league baseball team’s home stadium is under a 10-minute drive from the convention center.
