The Bridge Center: A New Event Space & Community Hub in Pelican Rapids

Hello, friends and neighbors!

As the Vice President of The Bridge Center, I am thrilled to share an exciting chapter in the story of our community. Our vision for The Bridge Center has always been to create a place where every resident of Pelican Rapids and beyond feels welcomed, supported, and inspired. And while every corner of our future center will be filled with opportunities, there’s one amenity that fills me with special anticipation—our rentable event space.

For too long, our town has needed a beautiful, adaptable venue—a place where families, neighbors, and organizations can gather for unforgettable moments. Weddings, milestone birthdays, graduation parties, creative workshops, charity events, and business retreats all deserve a setting as vibrant as the people who plan them. Our event space at The Bridge Center will deliver just that.

Imagine celebrating a golden anniversary with loved ones, hosting a spirited fundraiser for a cause close to your heart, or watching your child beam with pride at their graduation party—all in a space designed with versatility, elegance, and community at its core.

Of course, the event space is only one part of the tapestry we are weaving at The Bridge Center. Our center will also feature:

A Family Resource Center: Providing vital information, support, and connections for families navigating challenges and celebrating successes.
A State-of-the-Art Commercial Kitchen: Perfect for culinary classes, local entrepreneurs, and community meals.
A Dynamic Youth Center: A safe, welcoming environment for young people to learn, grow, and build lifelong friendships.

By offering these interconnected resources under one roof, we are creating not just a building, but a bridge—to support, to opportunity, and to each other.

As we move closer to opening our doors, our excitement grows—especially thinking of all the beautiful events that will find a home here. Weddings, quinceañeras, baby showers, reunions, talent shows, and so much more: the Bridge Center will be where Pelican Rapids connects, celebrates, and grows together. I invite you to follow our progress, share your ideas, and dream big with us. The Bridge Center is your center—a bridge to the future we’ll build as a community, one gathering at a time.


With gratitude and excitement,

Jordan Grossman
Vice President, The Bridge Center
