You know you’re in the right place when you’re in Port Arthur, Texas! We dance the two-step and zydeco, munch on savory crawfish, and show our Cajun flare and southern charm at every stop. With our diverse culture and coastal flair, planners like you can choose a fantastic theme and location for your next big meeting.  

We have myriad options of meeting facilities, including a convention center, banquet halls, meeting rooms, reception and lobby areas, and even sporting venues with over 1,800 hotel rooms close by.  

But it’s not all work in Port Arthur, Texas. Entertain your attendees at the famous Larry’s French Market Restaurant, where the motto is “laissez les bon temps rouler” – “let the good times roll.” Dance to live Cajun music and eat the best seafood in Southeast Texas. You’ll find this spicy spirit everywhere you go in Port Arthur. Encounter Jurassic to Janis at the Museum of the Gulf Coast, or breeze through our natural beaches and board walks, where wildlife waits to greet you around every bend.
