About Maricopa County Events Center

The Maricopa County Events Center, once known as the Sundome Center for the Performing Arts, opened in 1980 to host a range of performances and community events. Located at 19403 N RH Johnson Blvd in Sun City West, AZ, the venue held a capacity in the vicinity of 7,000 seats, anchoring a lively local arts scene for decades. Although the site no longer functions as a performing arts venue, its history remains a notable chapter in the Phoenix metro area’s entertainment landscape. The property was demolished by the end of summer 2013 to make way for Sundome Crossing, a Fry’s-anchored shopping center, and the original seating and event calendars are no longer in use. Below you’ll find historical context, transportation details, and practical information for nearby lodging and dining to help you plan visits to the surrounding area.

While the Maricopa County Events Center itself is no longer active, Sun City West and the surrounding Phoenix suburbs offer plenty of modern venues, hotels, and eateries. If you’re researching past performances or exploring the site’s legacy, we can connect you with up-to-date event options in the region. For current entertainment needs, consider nearby theaters, arenas, and live music spaces, and let us help secure your seats for upcoming shows in the broader Phoenix area.
