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.
