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.

A conference room with brown chairs, dark wood tables, green walls decorated with framed paintings, and two tall bookshelves filled with books and decorative items. There are two windows at the top, allowing natural light into the room.
