Hal Holmes Community Center

Our community center is a multipurpose conference and event auditorium located at the Ellensburg Public Library in historic downtown Ellensburg. The auditorium can be subdivided into 3 separate rooms named the KIttitas, Ellensburg and Teanaway rooms. Attached to the Teanaway room is a 850 square foot stage with lighting, baby grand piano and sounds system. All reservations include the tables and chairs needed for your event and we offer, for a nominal fee, a warming service kitchen for catering. The Hal Holmes Community Center is an ideal location for local and statewide private and public events.
