The Westport is an expansive 11,000-square-foot event venue located in the heart of downtown Chico, conveniently close to many of the city's main attractions and amenities. The building has a rich history, having previously housed Nantucket Design & Home, before that serving as the Chico Garage, and originally operating as Chico’s very first Cadillac dealership.
Recently, the space underwent thoughtful renovations that highlight its unique character, including walnut-shell blasted wood beams and polished cement floors, which not only enhance the venue’s natural aesthetic but also contribute to improved acoustics and overall sound quality.
