The Grand Halle

About The Grand Halle

The Grand Halle is owned by a nonprofit that strives to protect and transforms old steeples. 

This landmark building within the Cambria City Historic District served the ethnic-German parish of Immaculate Conception for more than 100 years. Closed by the Altoona-Johnstown Diocese in 2009, the building was purchased by a nonprofit organization and reopened in 2012 as The Grand Halle on Broad Street.

Now this special-events venue and concert hall is one of the region’s most distinctive spaces, hosting dozens of weddings, cultural events and concerts annually. A renovation project, completed in 2020, renewed the building and created the stunning colors and striking views that make The Grand Halle such a special place. With its richly hued Munich-style stained glass, Victorian Gothic decor and resonant Adam Stein pipe organ, the Halle is a unique, multi-purpose venue that serves the entire region.
