California Outdoor Concerts

Get Starstruck at the Watercourt

Grand Performances summer series takes place on two stages at California Plaza the Watercourt stage and the Marina Pavilion. The larger of the two venues - the Watercourt stage - is a unique performance site that can hold as many as 70 performers and is partially surrounded by a system of gardens and water features. The capacity crowd for this stage can be as large as 6,500 people. The smaller Marina Pavilion stage has an amphitheatre style feel and can accommodate close to 300 audience members.

This unique outdoor venue is the only one of its kind in Southern California. First-time evening attendees are often mesmerized by this extraordinary location - cradled between two high-rise towers, with water features (including the Watercourt) and the night time sky as a beautiful, natural canopy.

    Catch a show at the Konocti Harbour

    Konocti Harbor Resort and Spa brings you 120 pine studded acres of paradise, just a short and scenic drive away from Sacramento or the Bay Area.

    Dramatically situated at the base of Mount Konocti, this lakeside classic has recently undergone a multi-million dollar facelift emerging as Northern California’s premier destination resort.

    Located in Lake County, on California’s largest natural lake known for it’s glittering night sky, Konocti Harbor Resort and Spa is now famous for star gazing of a different sort: The Indoor Joe Mazzola Classic Concert Showroom and The Outdoor Konocti Field Amphitheatre play host to nearly 100 shows per year, by some of the biggest names in music.

    If it’s rejuvenation you crave, Dancing Springs Spa is just the ticket. Whether you’re seeking family fun for all ages or a romantic getaway… attending a convention in the Pomo Conference Center or just meeting friends for a relaxing weekend with fine dining, golf or water sports on the agenda… This waterfront resort in a pristine wine country setting has it all!

    So sit back, relax, and let us take you on a magical mystery tour, of a California Classic… The Konocti Harbor Resort and Spa.
