Golden State Theatre is located in the heart of downtown Monterey. Surrounded by charming restaurants, shops, and plenty of parking, Golden State Theatre is a great night out. Designed by the noted San Francisco architectural firm of Reid & Reid, the gorgeous Golden State Theatre follows a medieval Spanish theme. Among the features included in the original design are wrought iron chandeliers, tapestries, gold ornamentation, and heraldic shields. The auditorium was designed to give the impression of an outdoor courtyard, a relatively rare feature among California theaters.

Golden State Theatre brings popular comedians, well-known musicians, and other first-class content, including Jerry Seinfeld, Lyle Lovett and John Hiatt, Caifanes, Dark Star Orchestra, and The Beach Boys, to audiences on the Monterey Peninsula. With state-of-the-art sound and lights, the Golden State Theatre is the perfect combination of historic and cutting edge whether you are looking to host corporate, non-profit or social events.
