We welcome you to rent the Lobero Theatre.

The Lobero Theatre  is a California treasure — it opened in 1873 as an opera house, making it the oldest continuously operating theater in the state. Today, this cultural gem welcomes local and nationally-known events from State Street Ballet to the Santa Barbara International Film Festival, as well as notable artists like Pat Metheny, Jeff Bridges, Bill Frisell, and Charles Lloyd, who credit the Lobero among their favorite venues.

The Lobero is well-known for high quality programs presented in a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

“It is always a pleasure to work with Todd, J.O., and the Union crew at the Lobero. Their skill, professionalism, and attention to detail are a solid guarantee for our artistic values, and the friendly atmosphere backstage makes our artists and staff feel safe, welcome, and comfortable right away. It’s like family back there.”
