The Fairfield Civic Center was a public events facility located at 6509 E. J. Oliver Road in Fairfiled. Constructed in 1993, it was managed by the Fairfield Civic Center Authority and funded by the city. The center featured a ballroom with tiered seating for 500 diners or up to 700 seated theater-style. Three conference rooms and the 240-seat Glory's Family Dining were also part of the facility.
The Civic Center housed the Alabama Historical Radio Society's public exhibits and also housed two clothing stores and a gift shop.
The facility closed in 2011 in a dispute between the authority, the Fairfield City Council and the Mayor of Fairfield. Manager Johnnie Wyatt resigned on September 21 and issued pink slips to 16 part-time employees.
