A New Era for Marianna: The Endeavor Convention Center Opens Its Doors
In a major milestone for Jackson County and the City of Marianna, the Endeavor Convention Center has officially opened, ushering in an exciting new chapter for community events, tourism, and economic development in Northwest Florida. Located at 4060 Governor Rick Scott Drive in Marianna, the center celebrated its grand opening with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on January 7, 2026, (which was a blast!) featuring tours and refreshments for the community.
A Hub for Events, Tourism, and Local Growth
The Endeavor Convention Center adds a flexible, modern venue to the Marianna area and is already attracting a diverse range of activities. With an estimated capacity of up to 590 people, the space is ideal for:
- Meetings and corporate functions
- Conventions and expos
- Weddings and celebrations
- Community gatherings and fundraisers
Connected to a Bigger Vision
The Endeavor Convention Center is part of the larger Endeavor Park development — a 1,200-acre site positioned as a regional hub for residential, commercial, industrial, and cultural projects. This development includes initiatives like the NextStep at Endeavor Academy, <---blog post on that coming soon! A vocational and transition training program, as well as plans for museums and public spaces that will further enrich the community’s cultural landscape.
