Civic Auditorium

Not a bad seat in the house. Going to be rennovated for even better live shows sometime in the near future (posted 2018). You can volunteer as an usher if you want (see city Parks and Rec website)

I love the Civic Auditorium the orchestra is awesome and I've seen a ton of shows here. I've even seen Slayer and Megadeth!

I'm not sure why this place has high reviews, I guess it is purely based on nostalgia? The civic center is definitely a Santa cruz staple, everyone who lives in this town spent a lot of time in the civic. Santa cruz high basketball used to be here before the gym was built! The civic is old and outdated, in desperate need of renovation. I don't believe that just because Santa cruz is a small town that we shouldn't have nice venues for events. I do like that it is close to downtown and easy to access, there is also a good list.of events that happen here including the derby girls which we went to see tonight. The civic is definitely a great place to go in Santa cruz, I just wish that there could be work done to make it a bit nicer !

Friendly, spacious. Not a luxury place but pretty reasonable.

I went to friends of Santa Cruz Library book fair. Always a good time and a lot of great books for really cheap prices!
