The Apollo is one of America’s most iconic and enduring cultural landmarks. Located in New York City’s Harlem neighborhood, it’s a great setting for any public forum or event, offering two venues, supplemental spaces, and a host of customized services such as exclusive catering provided by Great Performances.

A complete renovation in 2005 restored the Apollo’s Main Stage Auditorium to its storybook, turn-of-the-century elegance. With its 1,500 seats, state-of-the-art capacities, and extensive roster of support services, it is an ideal venue for public forums, fashion shows, TV or photo shoots, private fund-raising events, weddings, and graduations. 

Additionally, the 1,680-square-foot Apollo Soundstage is a flexible event space that holds as many as 175 and can be transformed into a myriad of configurations and styles. It is an ideal space for commercial shoots, press conferences, executive meetings, and private parties.
 
“You guys were a class act all the way. The president had a great night at the Apollo, and that would not have been possible without your hard work,” said the campaign event director for Obama for America.
