THE FORUM

231 West Main Street | Dothan Alabama

THE Venue

The Forum is located in historic downtown Dothan, just steps away from downtown restaurants, coffee shops, and night clubs and is situated right next to a large public parking area.  There is also additional parking in the front of the building so your guests will never have far to walk, in any weather.  In addition to being a fully handicap accessible facility with dedicated parking spaces, there are accessible ramps, restrooms, and an elevator that services all levels and event spaces. 

Upcoming Events

The Forum can host multiple events on the same day since we have three spaces available and most events do not use all the spaces or last a full day. Even if your desired day is on a day listed below, please contact us right away so we can discuss the available options.
