Hopkins County Regional Civic Center

Hopkins County Regional Civic Center is a multipurpose event facility in Sulphur Springs, Texas, established in 1979 through a joint effort of the City of Sulphur Springs, the local school district, and Hopkins County. What began as a shared vision for a facility able to host livestock shows as well as community gatherings has grown into a full campus of event spaces, including an indoor arena, outdoor pavilion, exhibit hall, and auditorium. Over the decades, the venue has hosted major equine competitions, touring country music artists, and long-running community events including rodeos, concerts, and school functions, alongside private celebrations such as weddings and quinceañeras. A 2013 renovation modernized the Exhibit Hall, its foyers, restrooms, office area, concession stand, and board room, while a separate five-million-dollar renovation funded by the school district added 1,250 seats to the Auditorium. The center maintains a friendly, family-oriented atmosphere for the wide range of livestock, entertainment, and private events it hosts each year.
