Pasadena Scottish Rite Events Center

The Pasadena Scottish Rite Events Center occupies a historic 1925 cathedral at 150 North Madison Avenue in Pasadena's Playhouse Village neighborhood. The building was dedicated that year complete with an auditorium, stage, and extensive scenery capabilities, and has served as a landmark of the community ever since. Its Egyptian-motif entrance, added in 1961, features terrazzo flooring and intricate architectural craftsmanship that sets the tone for the interior spaces throughout. Two primary event spaces are available for rental. The Cobb Auditorium seats 454 guests in a theater setting equipped with professional sound, lighting, and stage capabilities — well suited to performances, ceremonies, and large-scale gatherings. A full-service banquet hall at street level, accessible from the North parking lot, accommodates up to 300 guests for dinners, receptions, and private celebrations. The Events Center offers flexibility in vendor selection and is available for a range of occasions including weddings, private dinners, film and television shoots, and performing arts productions. Rental inquiries are handled by the venue's dedicated events coordinator.
