ABOUT

Nestled near the rear of a beautiful oak grove in Libbey Park, Libbey Bowl has been described by artists and audience members alike as being an almost enchanted venue. The seamless blend of its natural surroundings with the modern production amenities of this facility makes the experience of attending an event in Libbey Bowl a magical experience.  With a fixed seating capacity of 973, every seat has an excellent view of the stage.  In addition to the fixed seating, there is also a beautiful lawn area overlooking the bowl that can accommodate between 200-300 audience members lounging on their picnic blankets.

The Bowl hosts the renowned Ojai Music Festival each June, as well as the Ojai Valley Music concert season, a storytelling festival, and a wide range of free community events, films, and talks. It may be rented by non-profit and commercial groups on a space-available basis for community-facing events. Visit our Rental page for more information.
