Founded in 1911 as a citrus exhibit where California growers gathered to display their finest fruit, the National Orange Show Event Center has grown into one of the Inland Empire's most versatile event complexes. The facility sits on 120 acres in San Bernardino and offers more than 150,000 square feet of indoor exhibit space alongside expansive outdoor grounds — enough room to host gatherings ranging from intimate dinners to large-scale festivals and concerts.
Six distinct event spaces accommodate a wide range of occasions, including weddings, quinceañeras, corporate conferences, trade shows, fundraiser galas, and live performances. Indoor venues range from the intimate 3,400-square-foot L'Orange Room, which seats up to 150 guests beside a one-acre lagoon, to the 32,000-square-foot Orange Pavilion, which seats up to 1,500 for banquets or 3,600 theater-style. Outdoor options include the lakeside Lagoon grounds spanning 45,000 square feet.
On-site catering with an executive chef, audio/visual services, professional parking coordination for approximately 8,000 vehicles, and a dedicated events staff round out the facility's offerings. The National Orange Show Event Center remains a community anchor in San Bernardino, supporting local education programs and charitable initiatives through the National Orange Show Foundation.
