The McAllen Performing Arts Center serves as a premiere venue for the performing arts so as to enhance the range, quality and accessibility of cultural fare available to the public; to promulgate arts education; and to contribute to the cultural life of McAllen, the Rio Grande Valley, South Texas and Northern Mexico.
The new venue has been built to state-of-the-art standards, including adjustable acoustics to suit a wide variety of musical events from contemporary pop concerts to orchestral symphonies and a hydraulic stage and orchestra lift enabling height variations for the performers. The performance center is 93,471 square feet, with theatre itself capable of seating 1, 800 with over 2,300 square feet of usable space. The venue also contains monumental stairs with impressive outside views.
There are restrooms located on every floor, and three levels of seating, with the VIP lounge located in The Tower. The venue is surrounded by shopping, dining, and other entertainment options in McAllen.
The McAllen Performing Arts Center (MPAC) opened its doors in November 2016 and quickly became the premier venue for nationally recognized music, dance, and theater productions. This beautiful, state-of-the-art facility has hosted over 500 world-class events, enriching the lives of audiences across South Texas.
The City of McAllen is committed to promoting the arts and enhancing cultural experiences for the residents of McAllen and throughout the Rio Grande Valley. The MPAC was designed to be the most advanced multi-use theater south of San Antonio and over the years, MPAC patrons have enjoyed a variety of live performances never before seen in South Texas.
