The Firehouse Arts Theater is an excellent venue for intimate performances with U shaped seating around in the balcony and angled floor seating. There are no bad seats on the floor level. However, the balcony spots overlooking the stage are a matter of personal taste - they are excellent for watching details of a musician's technique, but not so good for watching a performance with acting and drama where a more frontal view is essential. Check the website for offerings which range from bands to small orchestral and improv groups. The FHTheater is a short walk from Main St and close to the Museum on Main as well as many restaurants on Main and side streets. The Harrington Gallery is adjacent, and inside, just across the aisle from the Firehouse Theaters interior doors to the lobby. This gallery, and the wall space in front and along the upstairs hallways, provide 4 different venues for rotating art displays, so be sure to walk down the halls and go upstairs and check out the walls there in order to see all the current exhibits. The hallway exhibits are frequently devoted to regional artists as one-person shows. The main Harrington Gallery itself has new shows every few months, some selected by management, some juried with a theme, and some visiting exhibits. Exhibits usually include a small number of sculptural and figurative pieces but are primarily media for the wall. There is something for everyone's taste and the work tends to be contemporary, frequently abstract, and often less than 3 years old (per submission guidelines). Some shows have featured more landscapes and portraits as well, less abstract, so the gallery ensures that it has art for everyone. Receptions for each new show are engaging because the artists are invited and the public can meet and discuss with them about their art and learn about their ideas and techniques. The HG occasionally sponsors free public artist demonstration talks, often in the summer. All have been most informative and a pleasure to meet the volunteer local artists! The HG has classrooms upstairs where selected local artists teach children and adult classes in various media including watercolor and colored pencil for example. These classes usually require pre-enrollment and a fee and are often a several week series once a week.

In 1883, James Concannon established Concannon Vineyard, making it America's Oldest, Ongoing Winery Under the Same Family Label and Stewardship.

We invite you and your special guests to savor our award-winning wines and enjoy a unique Concannon Wine Country Experience. Learn why Concannon is "A Founding Family of California Cabernet Sauvignon" and released "America's First Petite Sirah."
We did the Livermore wine and food pairing trolley and stopped here. Great choice of wines we tasted. Loved their petite Sirah. Staff were great and knowledgeable about the history of the specific wines.

The home of playwright Eugene O'Neill is open to the public for tours.
Finally got to see this place! Hiked up and back, absolutely beautiful up there! Now this is a "go-to" place for our daily walks. The grounds are beautifully kept up. You see cows grazing right next to you. You can take many trails and venture the hills. Although we have not been able to go inside the house itself, due to Covid 19, we peeked inside the barn, where they have a stage set up for performances. Love the peacefulness there. Oh, besides the cows, you will see vultures, woodpeckers, wild turkeys, many different birds, etc... LOVE!!

Next to Napa and Sonoma, this is the "quieter" wine region of California.
Livermore have a lovely downtown area, perfect for a lazy afternoon with local shops, restaurants. Outside of town is one of the best outlet malls in the entire bay area, and south of town are some great wine country event centers and wine tasting places. Its a great place to visit and even nicer to place to live.

This former railroad track is now a "people-friendly" 23-mile long trail for bikers, hikers, in-line skaters, and horseback riders.
The path was paved and was a few steps from the hotel. The area was clean and safe. Lots of locals using the path as well.

Since opening in August 1988, the Blackhawk Museum has displayed classic automobiles and myriad exhibitions exemplifying art, technology and history. Local students, residents and international visitors enjoy educational presentations, cultural programs and volunteer opportunities. Since the beginning it has been home to the Automotive Gallery with over 55 vintage, classic, rare and sports automobiles on display. These automobiles are regarded as works of art and range from the dawn of the motoring age through the 1960's. In 2015, a new exhibition, The Spirit of the Old West opened, telling the story of the western frontier from the perspective of both the Native Americans and the settlers before, during and after the expansion west. The exhibition features authentic artifacts from the period, a large diorama depicting key historic moments, scenes of wildlife from the frontier and other elements that bring the past to life.
The Blackhawk Museum is truly a wondrous place if you’re a classic automobile enthusiast, restorer or someone who just plain likes cars. The collection ranges from the early 20th century all the way to today with a little something for just about every era of automotive history. My favorites have always been the Auburn’s, Cord’s and Duesenberg’s of which there are always one or two world class specimens on display. Sadly, I’ve heard rumors that with the passing of its founder Ken Behring a short while ago, that the facility could be repurposed in the next few years to come. That would truly be a loss for the area and classic car community in Northern California. Go, enjoy it before it’s too late. It’s worth the drive from Danville Or even Istanbul. Cheers.

We spent 4 nights here in February, and it was so quiet and peaceful. It's a nice, green campground with plenty of space between sites. There's a big grassy area in the center of the loop we were in, and wild turkeys paraded around it daily. We have a 40' motorhome, and it was a little cozy driving through the loop, but it was do-able. We had site #24, and it was perfect. It was a nice, long pull-thru; I think it was 90'.
