What to do and see in San Luis Obispo, California (CA): The Best Concerts & Shows

June 21, 2021 Rebbecca Marino

Halfway between San Francisco and L.A., San Luis Obispo can be a relaxing getaway or a buzz of activity. For serenity, pack a lunch and head to one of dozens of wineries or take a drive to the beach for a leisurely swim. For a dose of history, visit the heart of the city at the beautiful Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa. Kids will love the Children’s Museum or Skate Park. Be sure to stroll along the creek downtown, where there are breweries, wine bars, restaurants and shopping for all tastes.

Performing Arts Center San Luis Obispo

The Performing Arts Center San Luis Obispo is world-class venue, showcasing sweeping musicals and cutting-edge music. Recently updated with a state-of-art sound system, lighting and seating, the PAC has not only harnessed the transformative power of performance, but has also become the hub of the community. Located on the beautiful Central Coast of California on the Cal Poly campus, the PAC has two main venues. The majestic 1,286-seat Harold Miossi Hall and the nearly 500 seat Alex and Faye Spanos Theatre. Captivating audiences for decades, the PAC transcends all boundaries to enrich the cultural lives of theatre goers, including offering a free, community-sponsored, matinee program for local students across the several counties. This opportunity has given thousands of school-age children a chance to experience artistic greatness, first-hand. From electrifying onstage artistry to fostering intellectual growth, it’s no wonder the PAC is considered one of the region’s crown jewels.

This is the first year we have purchased tickets in advance for Plays throughout the year. We have not been disappointed. We love the theater, parking is very easy and you can see everything from the small theater set up. We have had excellent seats I guess because we have an annual pass now and I would recommend this to anyone. We look forward to all the rest of the plays during 2020. They always offer wine,beer, cookies, coffee available and a small patio to sit on if it is a warmer evening. Great following of loyal patrons here.

Great value at $10 per person to see 2 films. Really good sound out of the radio. When we went there were only a few other cars on a Monday so not busy but I imagine in the summer it’s heaving. Take blankets and snacks with you or buy your snacks there.
