Live Music. Community Mission. One Iconic Place 2.

The Santa Barbara Bowl isn’t just where music happens — it’s where community, creativity, and connection come alive. As a nonprofit, our mission is bigger than the stage.

Our Mission

The Santa Barbara Bowl Foundation exists to ensure this treasured venue remains a vibrant cultural and community asset for generations to come.

We do this through:

  • Hosting world-class live performances
  • Supporting arts education and outreach
  • Committing to environmental sustainability
  • Prioritizing inclusion and accessibility for all

As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, every ticket sold and every dollar raised supports this mission — on stage and off.
