Ventura is much more than surf and sand – it’s a fabulous art and cultural center, with many historical sights, galleries and other places to explore. Learn about the mission-era native Chumash culture at the mission and Channel Islands National Park Visitors Center. Browse exhibits at the Museum of Ventura County, experience 1800s pioneer life at historic adobes, or visit one of Ventura’s oldest landmarks the Mission San Buenaventura which was founded in 1782.

When evening arrives, live music rocks the town. Enjoy dinner and catch the beat at live performance spots around town. Music, theater and nightlife – Ventura is always abuzz with creative activities. Ventura has the nation’s 4th highest concentration of live music.

From Downtown's unique boutiques to the full spectrum of modern retailers available at the Pacific View Mall to the many antique stores found throughout the city, Ventura is truly a shopper's paradise.

Hundreds of artists make their home in Ventura. From painters and sculptors to dancers and musicians, its hard to go anywhere in town without finding either an artist at work or a display of creative efforts ongoing.
