SteamPlant Event Center
Salida's premier concert and event venue inside a beautifully restored historic steam plant.
About
The SteamPlant Event Center is Salida's cultural anchor — a stunning event venue housed in a meticulously restored 1887 steam heating plant. The main hall seats 350 and hosts concerts, theater productions, art shows, weddings, and community events year-round. The building's original brick, exposed steel, and vintage machinery create an atmosphere unlike any other venue in Colorado. The SteamPlant is home to the Salida Regional Library, Studio Arts School, and regularly brings in nationally touring musicians. Check the calendar before visiting Salida — you might plan your trip around a show.
