Tacoma Arts Live

The historic Tacoma Armory offers flexible indoor spaces for organisers planning events in Tacoma, Washington. Its largest space is the Parade Floor, an open area of around 20,000 square feet that can be hired in full or in part. Its scale and adaptable layout make it suitable for larger gatherings such as conventions, festivals, galas, graduations, sporting events, markets and weddings.

For smaller occasions, the Eleanor Roosevelt Room provides a more intimate setting, with exposed brick and hardwood floors. The building also has studios and office spaces that can accommodate meetings, rehearsals, creative work, small events and intimate performances. Organisers can discuss the space and arrangement that best suit their plans with the venue's rental team.

Event support and equipment are available alongside the room hire. Services include event and production staffing, ticketing, bar service with staff, and pipe and drape. Rental equipment includes tables, chairs, linens and bars, as well as a concert-quality stage, sound and lighting equipment, projection facilities and a projection wall. This range can help planners shape the room for different formats, from a seated celebration to a large public programme.

The Armory is operated by Tacoma Arts Live, a non-profit arts organisation based at the building. Its distinctive historic setting and mix of large and smaller spaces offer event planners options for both high-attendance occasions and more contained gatherings. Prospective hirers can contact the rentals team to enquire about availability, suitable spaces, event services and equipment.
