John A. Alario Event Center

About John A. Alario Event Center

The Alario Center is designed to host athletic events, trade shows, graduations, large receptions and other social events. The Center’s Grand Hall (Halls A & B with open airwall) offers more than 30,000 square feet of floor space that can accommodate nearly 3,000 theater style seats or just under two hundred 10×10 tradeshow booths. In addition, Hall C, a 19,250 square foot exhibition hall, can accommodate up to one hundred twenty six 8×10 tradeshow booths or seating for up to 920 in a banquet setting.

The Alario Center also has three 1,500 square foot meeting rooms and a boardroom. The Bayou Segnette Sports Complex grounds are ideal for hosting festivals and outdoor events. The final component of the Bayou Segnette Sports Complex is Segnette Field, a state-of-the-art baseball stadium. The Alario Center hosts many annual weekend events so requests for weekends are very difficult to fill. Mid-week (Tuesdays, Wednesdays & some Thursdays) can be easier depending on the type of setup you are looking for and the setup required for the events on the weekends before or after the date you are looking at. However, there are periods where we remain set up for reoccurring events (basketball tournaments, Mardi Gras balls, graduations, dance recitals), leaving us no time for conversions from those setups.
