Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium Concerts

This beautiful, historic building gets hot on a warm day with crowds milling around looking at exhibits. I've enjoyed watching many a wonderful performance here.

Saw Huddy an Oliver tree! Was a cute little venue. Definitely nice to be so close to such amazing musicians! Would recommendation this place for other concerts! Only serve beer an wine and soda an water an a few snacks. Was a good time.

I saw Devo there and the sound was great . the seats all have a good view. seats in front of you are quite a bit lower so you don't have to worry about the people sitting in front of you blocking your vision. It's like the Greek theater above a basketball court.

Good room for a concert! Essentially a basketball court surrounded by 9 rows of seats, seating 2000. The room is acoustically treated so the sound is quite good for a box. Fresh air flow is good because the windows behind the seats can be opened. Parking is close and easy and usually free after 6pm. Staff is loose and not overbearing. This space has hosted an impressive list of personalities and acts over the decades bringing good vibes to Santa Cruz.

It was nice to see Yuja live in concert. The drawback is that the acoustics in the auditorium aren't too great. It was still an overall good experience.
