Upcoming Events
We're lucky in Downtown Santa Cruz to have such a vibrant arts and entertainment scene. During the COVID pandemic, sitting in an auditorium or going to a dance class isn't an option - but luckily, there are other ways. Many live performances are moving online to stream from home, and dance classes are going virtual so that anyone can follow along. Click through to see which venues and organizations have arts options online, or check the event calendar to see what's coming up!
