Public Events at the Armory

Looking for space to rent in Greater Boston to host your next benefit concert or fundraising gala?

Our historic Performance Hall or charming Café could be the perfect venue for your public event.

The Performance Hall, located in the historic Somerville Armory in the Spring Hill neighborhood, has a large, open main floor, modular stage, and a Mezzanine (balcony) for additional seating. Our venue can effortlessly accommodate different layouts, from a market with vendor booths to banquet-style seating.

The Hall has transformed into a versatile event space with new, cutting-edge audiovisual technology and customizable lighting to enhance the ambiance of any event. Our small, dedicated team can help ensure your vision comes to life by providing assistance with the booking process, marketing, and technical support. Whether you’re planning an immersive circus performance, film screening, or professional networking event, the Performance Hall and our professional staff can work with you to make your event a success.

Our venue includes a fully-staffed bar with a rotating selection of craft beers and wine. Delicious snacks and a specialty bar food menu is available upon request from our own ROOTED Armory Café. Join us at The Center for the Arts at the Armory and make your event truly memorable. 

If you are looking to host a public arts or cultural event in the Performance Hall, and need a subsidized space rental fee, please go to our Performance Opportunity Program (POP) page to learn more.

Our intimate ROOTED Armory Café (capacity: 52) is also available to rent for open mics, comedy nights, and arts & crafts activities.
