The News-Journal Center gives Daytona Beach a riverfront performing-arts venue that is useful when you want culture away from the speedway and beach strip. Operated by Daytona State College, it hosts concerts, theatre, talks, and student or community performances.
The building is not a sightseeing stop by itself, so look at the calendar before going. On an active night, it rounds out Daytona's options and offers a calmer evening plan than the bars and boardwalk.
