OVERLOOK EVENTS CENTER Pikeville, Kentucky

Situated in the Appalachian Mountains of Eastern Kentucky, the Overlook Events Center is perched on a reclaimed mining site with breathtaking views of the Pikeville Cut-Through Project, an engineering project that began in 1973 with the sole purpose of relieving the barrage of flooding that the city of Pikeville experienced annually. The Cut-Through Project also gave the city more room for development due to the relocation of the Levisa Fork of the Big Sandy River away from downtown.

The event center features a large outdoor patio with amazing 360-degree views and an open concept indoor meeting space that can accommodate up to 350 guests.

Pikeville is also home to Appalachian Wireless Arena, a premier entertainment and conference venue in the heart of downtown. The 126,000-square-foot facility has an arena floor that can provide concert seating for 7,000. The building was designed as a multi-purpose facility, complete with about 5,000 square feet of ballroom space overlooking the arena floor.

Groups wanting to visit the area have their pick of fun outdoor activities, as well as a healthy dose of history. Pikeville’s claim to fame is the infamous feud between the Hatfields and the McCoys. Visitors flock to the area to learn more about the feud and take a self-guided tour of sites associated with the two families.
