The Amarillo Civic Center and the Globe-News Center for the Performing Arts work together to bring a wide variety of top-drawer entertainment events to Amarillo. From the athletic drama of pro-wrestling to the kid-friendly fare of Barney and Friends, these venues are proud to present a wide range of attractions under their spotlights. Also, various regional and national music performers are scheduled frequently, so to stay on top of what's happening, make sure to check the website regularly and get your tickets for Amarillo's next big show.
Sometimes, an intimate chat over a cup of coffee is better than any fancy, expensive evening out. Capture those special one-on-one moments at Roasters Coffee and Tea Co. Choose from an impressive selection of gourmet coffees and teas as well as a luscious pastry or muffin to go along with your selection. The quaint tables and relaxed atmosphere of their shop will only add to the mood, even if the two of you have to rush off to the office after you're done sipping on your beverage.
Even though the people in Amarillo like to throw a good party, they like to give back with equal enthusiasm. That's what the Center City Block Party is all about. Held every August, the event takes place in the downtown area of Amarillo. Music is definitely in the air, as five stages feature 25 bands throughout the seven hour event. Food vendors and attractions consistently attract large crowds, and the festival atmosphere not only keeps everyone in a great mood, it also helps to raise funds for Center City.
