It was reopened after a major renovation in October 2017, welcoming its first ever night time concert with LA based rockers Chicano Batman<\/a>. With a deep history of hosting legendary artists, activists and authors including Angela Davis, Ravi Shankar, Alfred Hitchcock and Cesar Chavez, the Quarry has reopened as a critical gathering space to celebrate live music and community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Referred to as the \u201cRed Rocks in the Redwoods\u201d, The Quarry is the largest outdoor venue with an existing stage and seating in the greater Santa Cruz community.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Quarry Amphitheater\u2019s unique terraced asymmetrical design allows for amazing sight-lines and multiple venue configurations from open floor to reserved seating layouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At a maximum capacity of 2600, The Quarry now holds the opportunity to become the region’s premiere outdoor destination concert venue while also retaining its value as a natural open space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
