ABOUT THE CENTRE

The Stafford Centre opened its doors in March of 2004, with a spectacular lineup on its grand opening weekend. Performances by the Moscow ballet, Houston Symphony, and the Fort Bend Boys Choir gave credence to Mayor Leonard Scarcella’s vision to bring arts and entertainment to Fort Bend County, Texas.
The $28 million dollar state-of-the-art building was conceived and built through a partnership of the Stafford City Council and the Stafford Economic Development Corporation. Plans for the 100,000 square foot facility included both a performing arts theater, a convention center, and festival fields. This unique design would allow the hosting of multitude of events over the following years.
Located 20 miles from downtown Houston, multi-use property has given the City of Stafford the proud label of a cultural leader, shifting the perception of the city from an industrial space to one that is culturally diverse. Stafford Centre serves as the third jewel in the City’s crown along the Stafford Municipal School District and the elimination of the city property tax in 1995.
