It hosts events for the area like high school graduations, home and garden shows, and the largest veteran breakfast in Beaver County. In the past the Dome hosted several music acts from artists like the Smashing Pumpkins, New Kids on the Block, and political events most notably a major campaign speech from then Senator Barack Obama in March 2008. It was built in 1975 and is one of only eight remaining geodesic dome structures in the United States.

It is currently the home of the CCBC Titans.
