Salida SteamPlant Event Center

The historic Salida SteamPlant sits on Sackett Avenue in the heart of downtown Salida, a restored civic building now serving as an event center for weddings, conferences, community programs, and performances. The 75-person format works well for acoustic, Americana, blues, classical, folk, jazz, singer-songwriter, and world music acts, and the flexible booking calendar can accommodate any night of the week. For guests, a show here feels like a real event, held in a landmark space that gives the town some of its architectural character. For artists, it is a well-run listening-oriented room with a mixed-genre audience that turns out for programmed nights.
