About Us

You are Not Simply Renting a Space. You are Creating a Memorable Experience.

Centrally located between New Orleans and the Mississippi Gulf Coast, there is no place quite like The Harbor Center for meetings and conventions. Our beautifully spacious 54,000 square-foot facility is home to nearly 200 events annually, from intimate corporate retreats to large consumer shows, as well as banquets, sporting events, weddings, business seminars and more.

Located at the crossroads of three interstate highways with easy access to more than 1,400 hotel rooms, The Harbor Center is an event planner’s dreams come true. Strategically built on the shores of Lake Pontchartrain, surrounded by lush tropical landscaping, the center provides the perfect backdrop for a successful and memorable event. Get all of the benefits of being near a big city, but in a relaxed and safe environment of St. Tammany Parish.

Our mission is two-fold: to be an economic development engine and an enhancement to the quality of life for the residents of St. Tammany Parish. How do we accomplish this? We offer an unparalleled level of service and a highly functional and versatile floor plan.
