A little history
A cast-in-place concrete, steel and wood building from 1930, owned by the County of Humboldt. The January 9, 2010 earthquake cracked and spalled its walls and damaged the roof; the state's Office of Emergency Services paid 75 percent of the repair, and the restoration kept the art deco exterior, the stained glass skylight and the original ironwork while adding the elevator and ramps.
Seating is in rows directly in front of the stage and around the sides of the room, and dancing takes the full width of the hall behind the front rows; the festival points to the building's 9 million dollar renovation with acoustic improvements. Free festival shuttles link the official hotels with every venue.
