Decatur Civic Center

1 Gary K. Anderson Plaza, Decatur, IL 62523

Ice Skating

Located in the heart of historic downtown Decatur and surrounded by many of the community’s favorite restaurants and shops, the Decatur Civic Center has served as Decatur’s go-to location for entertainment options for over 35 years.

Boasting a not-a-bad-seat-in-the-house 460 seat live performance theater and an arena large enough to host 3,000 excited fans at a music event, the Decatur Civic Center offers a variety of shows and events all year long. The arena is home to some of Macon County’s largest expositions and can be converted into a regulation size hockey rink. During the winter months, the rink is open to the public for ice-skating.
