About Us


Built by the citizens of El Paso County in 1982 to serve as a regional entertainment and cultural center, the Pikes Peak Center’s downtown Colorado Springs location was planned as a part of the economic revitalization strategy for the downtown business district.

Pikes Peak Center seats approximately 2,000 and hosts a variety of shows every year, including concerts, comedy, dance, theatre and family shows. Notable past performers include Jerry Seinfeld, Dave Chappelle, Alice Cooper, and Earth, Wind & Fire.

Built in 1982 as the Pikes Peak region’s first true symphony hall, Pikes Peak Center is the home and primary venue of the Colorado Springs Philharmonic. Additionally, the American Theatre Guild presents National Broadway Tours and professional touring productions annually.

Pikes Peak Center has achieved international acclaim for its design and acoustical qualities. Artists and critics alike have been lavish in their praise of the Center. The Center hosts in excess of 200 performances annually. The Center is owned by El Paso County and operated by The Broadmoor World Arena, a 501©(3) organization.
