Whether you’re traveling to Lake Erie for the first time, or you’ve been fortunate enough to live near its shores for years, the Bayfront Convention Center (BCC) in Erie, Pennsylvania, is indisputably a premier meeting destination in the Great Lakes region.
Featuring 145,000 square feet of nautical-inspired modern architecture and breathtaking vistas of Presque Isle Bay, the BCC is a gem for this city of more than 100,000 situated in the northwest corner of the state and located within 500 miles of half the U.S. population. The sprawling world-class facility, which sits directly across the water from Presque Isle State Park, is, in a word, stunning, as well as a major driver for tourism in the Erie area. The Bayfront Convention Center offers its visitors the chance to enjoy entertainment and attractions that include seven miles of beaches, a mix of wineries, restaurants, year-round sporting events, theatrical productions, and a 2,000-slots casino and racetrack all within a 30-mile radius.
