With spacious indoor facilities, outdoor venues and miles of covered and paved pavilions, the City of Canton is the perfect destination for your next special event.

Located within a short drive from Dallas, Tyler and Shreveport, LA, on IH 20, Canton has become a popular place for organizations and businesses seeking to bring large groups together for business or leisure.

The City's 34,000-square-foot Civic Center, which is home to a quality antiques and collectibles market during First Monday Trade Days, quickly converts to a convention hall, banquet room, indoor concert hall or trade show market during other times of the month.

The facility is ideal for RV rallies. Adjacent to the Civic Center are 1,000 RV parking spaces -- 700 with water and electricity and 300 with full hook-ups.

The Original First Monday Park is regularly selected as the site for Bluegrass Festivals and other concerts and outdoor performances. With more than 28 miles of pavement, the Original Park is a popular choice year-round for any outdoor event.

Canton, home of the world's largest open air trade days, boasts quality hotels, lodges and bed & breakfast facilities. Excellent restaurants are located throughout the city. Downtown Canton features unique shops and restaurants open daily.
