About Mayo Civic Center Exhibit Hall

Welcome to the Mayo Civic Center Exhibit Hall, a versatile 25,200 square foot space in downtown Rochester, MN. With a ceiling height of 32 feet and modular configurations, the hall adapts to a wide range of events—from consumer shows and trade shows to large performances. The venue is connected to the North Lobby and Auditorium, making it easy to move between spaces during multi-day events. Whether you’re planning a trade show, a concert, or a community event, we’ve got you covered with clear seating information, practical parking tips, and trusted accommodation suggestions nearby.

Note: The Exhibit Hall configurations are event-specific. See the seating and booth options below for current opportunities to secure your seats or booth space. Tickets can be purchased at the on-site Box Office or through Ticketmaster, and Mayo Civic Center operates on a cashless system.

Beyond the Exhibit Hall, Mayo Civic Center houses an Auditorium (up to 3,000 seats) and a Ballroom (up to 3,696 in theater style) as well as an Arena (up to 5,000). This makes it a hub for concerts, symphony performances, consumer shows, and large-scale events in Rochester. For a smooth experience, consider nearby lodging and dining options—there are several affiliate partner hotels and well-rated restaurants within walking distance via the skyways.

Transit to the venue is supported by Rochester Public Transit, with improvements on the way. The Link BRT is planned to open around November 2026, improving connections between downtown Rochester, Mayo Civic Center, and Mayo Clinic. Secure your seats and space early—we’ve got you covered with clear, straightforward options.
