Anderson Sport and Entertainment Center upcoming events — Anderson, South Carolina

Discover the Premier Anderson Sport and Entertainment Center

The Anderson Sport and Entertainment Center is more than a multi-purpose complex — it's a premier destination that brings concerts, sports, expos, and festivals together across a scenic campus. Set in Anderson, South Carolina, this 337-acre hub welcomes fans for Anderson Sport and Entertainment Center upcoming events in an easy-to-access, park-like setting.

Opened in 1991 (with the Civic Center component), the complex blends indoor and outdoor spaces to host events year-round. Its footprint includes an outdoor amphitheater, a large civic center/arena, and expansive park grounds — one of the largest event facilities in the region.

From high-energy concerts and festivals to basketball, volleyball, and large-scale expos, the programming is as diverse as the venue itself. The Civic Center has even hosted the Big South Conference men's basketball tournament, underscoring the complex’s role as a regional anchor for live entertainment and sports.

Outdoors, the amphitheater and park areas create a natural stage for concerts and community gatherings, with scenic sunset views during spring and fall shows. Indoors, the civic center converts easily for courts, trade shows, and headline performances, making the experience smooth whether you prefer floor access or reserved seating.

Location and Transportation

Venue Address

Anderson Sports & Entertainment Center

3027 Martin Luther King Jr Blvd

Anderson, SC 29625

Located about 30 miles southwest of Greenville, SC, the complex is convenient for upstate South Carolina and neighboring communities. Its expansive, park-like setting makes it a favorite for both indoor and outdoor events.

• Parking: On-site parking available; arrive early for major events to get the best spots.
• Public Transit: Limited public transit options available.
• Rideshare & Dropoff: Designated pickup zones available near main entrance; confirm with your driver for the closest permitted dropoff point.

Arrival Recommendations

Plan to arrive 60–90 minutes before showtime, especially for major concerts, festivals, or high-attendance indoor events. Early arrival helps you secure better parking, breeze through entry, and settle in before the action starts.

For outdoor amphitheater and park events, keep weather in mind — summers in South Carolina can be hot and humid, while spring and fall bring more comfortable temperatures. Pack sunscreen, a light layer for evening breezes, or a poncho if rain is in the forecast.

The complex spans 337 acres, so expect moderate walking between parking areas and event spaces. If you’re meeting friends, set a rally point near a clearly marked entrance. During large events, cell service can slow due to network congestion, so download tickets in advance and coordinate plans ahead of time.

Venue Navigation

This multi-venue campus is designed to handle crowds while keeping movement straightforward. You’ll find signage directing you to the amphitheater, the civic center/arena, and park event spaces, along with entrances and ticket checkpoints tailored to each event.

Concessions are available during events, and merchandise stands are commonly set up for major concerts and festivals. Restrooms are located throughout the civic center and near outdoor event areas. With walking distances between lots and stages/entrances, comfortable footwear is a smart call.

Security and Policies

• Bag Policy: Details not published — check the venue’s official guidance before you go.
• Prohibited Items: Not specified; review event pages and promoter notices for the most current list.
• Re-entry Policy: No re-entry once you exit the venue.
• Service Animals: ADA-compliant service animals are welcome.

Post-Purchase Tips — Be Ready for Event Day

• Download your tickets before arriving — cell service can be limited.
• Bring a valid ID and cashless payment option.
• Charge your phone fully.
• Review venue policies in advance.
• For outdoor shows, pack sunscreen or a light rain layer, and bring a sealed water bottle if permitted.
• Build in extra time for walking between parking areas and your event entrance.

Pre-Event Planning

Make the most of the venue’s park-like setting by arriving early to explore the grounds before your event. If you’re catching an outdoor concert, time your arrival to enjoy scenic sunset views from the amphitheater or open park areas — a perfect pre-show moment with your crew.

Coordinating with a group? Share your entry gate, section (if reserved), and a clear meeting point in case cell service is slow during peak hours. If you’re driving from Greenville or nearby towns, consider carpooling or planning a designated rideshare pickup after the show to streamline your exit.

If your plans include an all-day festival or expo, schedule breaks for concessions and merch — lines move fastest early in the day or midway through the event. A quick snack stop keeps energy high so you don’t miss a moment of the action.

Accessibility

Accessibility details vary by event and space within the complex. For the most accurate information on ADA parking locations, accessible seating options, and step-free routes at the amphitheater or civic center, contact the venue or review the event organizer’s official guidance ahead of time.

For assistance choosing accessible seating, contact Ticket Purchase for personalized support before purchasing.

Dining Options
