The Redding Civic: A North State Gem with a Fascinating History

City of Redding Podcast

The Redding Civic Auditorium, built in 1970, is a unique venue that caters to concert-goers, trade show attendees, banquets, and much more. Flex seating allows the capacity to change based on the size or style of the event. Even though it serves many entertainment functions in our community, the Civic sometimes doesn’t get the credit it deserves.

Today we talk with Julie Dyar, General Manager of the Redding Civic Auditorium, and while she admits that the design of the building is polarizing, she believes the foresight in the flex seating capacity is just one of the elements that has made the venue last as long as it has in our community. We’ll also find out what it takes to book a show, what makes Redding a good market, and how ticket prices are calculated. She’ll also dispel a few longstanding myths about who runs and owns the Civic.

There are a ton of exciting acts hitting the Redding Civic Auditorium soon—including the biggest outdoor stage ever to grace the Civic this fall. With more to come in the next year, there has never been a better time to check out all the great shows coming to our area.
