At the Brannan Center, our work goes beyond the stage. Through performances, youth enrichment, partnerships, and community-driven initiatives, we create spaces where people come together, stories are shared, and lasting impact is made.
We welcome more than 500 students each year to experience the arts during programs where they have the opportunity to attend a private concert, meet the artists, learn about their artistic journey and participate in interactive learning sessions.
The space was beautiful, clean, and had great acoustics and lighting design. The whole band was so into it and so insanely talented. I think it's safe to say that the band members are living my dream, and seeing them play somehow made those dreams that have always seemed so far away feel ever so slightly closer to my fingertips. Really really well done.
Brannan Center is a safe and welcoming space for children and families, as this site has been for generations. Partnerships with Cafeteria Kids, Napa Valley Education Foundation, Napa Valley Community Foundation and the Santa Rosa Symphony have enabled us to engage with budding musicians, thespians and creators, building a foundation for arts appreciation in the heart of Northern Napa Valley.
The site at Third and Washington has been a welcoming place for gathering since the age of Western Expansion, and Brannan Center proudly carries that tradition forward. Today, we welcome teachers and students, performers and audiences, hosts and visitors from the Bay Area and beyond to call Brannan Center home. More than 600 guests filled our halls for the Grand Opening in October 2025, marking the beginning of a vibrant new chapter for the UpValley community.
As a hub for connection and celebration, Brannan Center is proud to host beloved community traditions, including the annual Merry & Bright holiday gathering on our Dawn Terrace—affectionately known as UpValley’s front porch—in partnership with the Calistoga Chamber of Commerce and Visit Calistoga.
If you haven’t already, we invite you to come say hello at community events like the Calistoga Farmer’s Market, St. Helena’s Annual Harvest Festival, Calistoga Joint Unified School District’s Back to School Night, and more.
Brannan Center offers a dynamic and thoughtfully curated mix of performances that reflect the diversity and creativity of the arts. From live music spanning classical, jazz, and contemporary styles to comedy, theater, and cultural programs, each event is selected to engage and inspire a wide range of audiences. By bringing together acclaimed touring artists alongside talented local performers, Brannan Center creates a vibrant cultural hub where every visit offers something new to experience and enjoy.
The Brannan Center thrives thanks to your support! Discover how you can join the movement through our membership program and more.
