CELEBRATING 55 YEARS

Redding Civic Auditorium opened its doors in 1970. Its innovative design fosters a multiplicity of uses, concerts & events. In 2011 the City of Redding contracted with Advance Redding to manage the facility. Advance Redding is a local 501c3 public benefit non-profit organization. Owned by the City of Redding, Advance Redding is both the operator and a concert and event promoter, taking on great financial risk to attract world class entertainers from around the globe. All event revenue is reinvested into the facility, its operations, and AR’s commitment to provide diverse programming. Advance Redding’s economic impact to the City is in the hundreds of millions of dollars.

capacities and layout

Our indoor venue provides reserved seating for over 2000 people, and can host over 2400 people when large rock and country concerts include a standing general admission pit. The auditorium can also be scaled down to seat just over 1200 people. Outdoor concert capacities on our front lawn can support larger crowds of 5000 to 7000 people or more. Please find our indoor and outdoor seating maps linked here.

When the facility is hosting trade shows and business expos, or hosting a nightclub-style event, the seats are removed on the main floor and the balcony sections are raised, allowing the entire area to be used for display space, exhibits, or entertaining. 

Health & Safety

The Redding Civic Auditorium is committed to the health and safety of all our patrons, artists, staff, contractors, and volunteers. Safety measures are in place based on the latest guidance from government health officials as well as social distancing protocols and industry best practices. Adherence to all safety protocols is required for admittance to all events.

Per California's Department of Public Health, patrons will not be required to provide proof of Covid-19 vaccination or negative test result upon entry at Redding Civic Auditorium.
