Event production in Ogden, Utah

Ogden grew up as the rail junction for the first transcontinental railroad, and that history still shapes where events happen. Union Station anchors 25th Street, the county owns the big downtown conference and theater complex, and the city runs an outdoor amphitheater that books national touring acts all summer.

True AV has produced events at Union Station and the Eccles Dinosaur Park. We bring sound, lighting, staging, LED walls and live band backline, quote it line by line, usually the same day, and put a named lead on site.

Know the city

What makes Ogden different for events

Railroad-era downtown

Union Station on 25th Street is a historic depot with four museums and a Grand Lobby under a cathedral ceiling. Historic 25th Street around it hosts the Harvest Moon Celebration each September, First Friday Art Stroll and Christmas Village.

Pioneer Days in July

Ogden Pioneer Days runs mid to late July, with nightly PRCA rodeo at Pioneer Stadium, after-rodeo concerts, a parade and a drone show on July 24. It is one of the busiest weeks of the year for crews and hotels.

A real concert amphitheater

The Ogden Amphitheater hosts the Ogden Twilight series. The 2026 run had 10 shows from June 9 with The Black Keys to October 7 with Big Thief, so the stage is built for touring productions.

Paid parking downtown

Since June 19, 2026, downtown parking is paid Monday to Saturday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., at $1.50 per hour on the street. The Junction garage and Union Station stay free, and Sundays and state holidays are free.

Gateway to Ogden Valley

Snowbasin and Powder Mountain are up the canyon and host their own summer and winter events. Pioneer Days programming even includes events at both resorts.

City and public venues

Public venues in Ogden

Ogden Amphitheater

273 fixed seats and about 7,300 standing, on a 19,700 sq ft sloped lawn plus plazas

Outdoor concerts, Ogden Twilight, festivals and community events

AV note: Stage is about 35 ft wide by 30 ft deep with a 38 by 20 ft roll-up door. House sound and lighting suit most shows; outside production is brought in at renter expense when needed. Backstage access is from the Municipal Building lot on 26th Street.

Union Station

50 to 500 guests; 22,264 sq ft total

Weddings, receptions, luncheons, meetings and corporate events

AV note: Open to all vendors and caterers, so outside AV is expected. The Grand Lobby's tall ceiling carries sound a long way; plan speaker placement with that in mind.

Ogden Eccles Conference Center and Peery's Egyptian Theater

10 to 1,500 attendees across about 70,000 sq ft

Conventions, trade shows, galas, meetings and theater performances

AV note: County-owned. The county planned a renovation of ballrooms, lighting and meeting rooms starting in 2023, so ask what is current in the room you book.

Golden Spike Event Center

141 acres with two indoor arenas, an outdoor stadium, exhibit buildings and a rec hall

Weber County Fair, rodeos, equestrian events, expos and sports

AV note: Staff handle ticketing, catering, security and setup. No in-house show AV is listed, so plan for outside production.

Dee Events Center, Weber State University

11,592 seats

WSU basketball, concerts, commencements and community events

AV note: Arena venue. Confirm production needs and house systems with the university.

Private venues

Venues we enjoy in Ogden

Private venues with strong event teams, great rooms and a smooth load-in. The kind of places where the production side just works.

The Monarch

A restored 1929 Spanish Colonial Revival garage on 25th Street, on the National Register, with multiple event rooms in 60,000 sq ft.

Ogden has few private venues at production scale. The largest professional rooms downtown are county-owned, at the Eccles Conference Center, and Snowbasin's Earl's Lodge in Huntsville takes up to 650 for mountain events.
