Honda Center: Anaheim's Premier Entertainment Hub
Anaheim's top spot for live sports, concerts, and family entertainment, located in the heart of the Platinum Triangle.
The Honda Center, located in Anaheim, California, is a premier destination for sports and entertainment. Opened on June 19, 1993, as the Anaheim Arena, its inaugural event was a sold-out Barry Manilow concert. Soon after, it became known as the Arrowhead Pond, and in 2006, it officially became the Honda Center. Home to the Anaheim Ducks of the National Hockey League (NHL), the Honda Center has witnessed exciting hockey moments, including the Ducks' Stanley Cup victories in 2003 and 2007. Beyond hockey, the arena hosts a diverse range of events, including top-name concerts, family shows, and sporting events. Artists such as Katy Perry, Jin, and Enrique Bunbury are set to perform in 2025. The arena has also hosted major WWE events and NCAA tournaments. The Honda Center is undergoing a major transformation as part of Anaheim's ocVIBE project, a 100-acre entertainment district that will include new restaurants, office spaces, hotels, and parks. This development aims to create a vibrant, walkable urban environment around the arena. With its state-of-the-art facilities and prime location, the Honda Center continues to be a central hub for entertainment and sports in Southern California.
