Cabrillo Pavilion Arts Center

Cabrillo Pavilion Arts Center sits on the sands of East Beach in Santa Barbara, California — a 1926 Beaux-Arts-influenced landmark that was donated to the city in 1927 and fully renovated in 2020. Perched at 1118 East Cabrillo Boulevard, the building combines historic architecture with modern amenities steps from the Pacific Ocean. Three rentable spaces serve a range of events. The second-floor Event Center is the signature venue, accommodating up to 200 guests for weddings, corporate meetings, family celebrations, and special events. Its open-plan layout connects to two outdoor terraces with panoramic ocean views, and the rental includes a professional catering kitchen, audio-visual equipment, and post-event cleaning. Downstairs, the Conference Room seats 10 and comes equipped with full A/V connectivity and complimentary Wi-Fi, while the Training Room accommodates up to 30 in a classroom-style setting with whiteboards and a large presentation display. The facility is managed by the City of Santa Barbara Parks and Recreation Department and accepts reservations up to 18 months in advance.
