The Astoria Armory has hosted some big names in entertainment over the years, since its completion in 1941. Originally used primarily as a USO venue, the Armory has also seen a diverse lineup of performances including Bob Hope, Buffalo Springfield and Richard Nixon!

The Armory is once again on its way back to its former glory, hosting many local events and community services throughout the year. And with the ongoing restoration of this unique historic venue, we are looking forward to hosting even more large scale events and shows. So keep an eye out for upcoming events on our Calendar, and be sure to follow us on the socials!

Bringing Back an Astoria Legend

The Friends of the Astoria Armory (FOAA) is a group of community members who are committed to the ongoing process of restoring this incredible landmark and transforming it into a community and events center. Much progress has been made since FOAA took possession of the Armory in 2014. Quality programs that serve youth and the community at large languished during the pandemic. In July 2021 roller skating was resumed.

FOAA is actively seeking volunteers to continue to bring the facility back to life with programs and services. Please consider joining us, and keep checking back to our site for more exciting developments in the near future!
