Built in 1934, the 3,036-seat San Jose Civic has classic Spanish mission-style architecture and has been at the core of San Jose’s cultural activity and traditions. This intimate, historic indoor venue, located in Downtown San Jose, hosts a variety of shows, concerts, corporate meetings and general sessions, family shows, fundraiser galas, banquet dinners and other events looking for a mid-sized theater. Artists such as The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Jefferson Airplane, Frank Sinatra, Barbara Streisand, The Grateful Dead, The Beach Boys and The Who (started their first US headlining tour at the Civic in 68’) have all played on this stage.
