Location

This grand auditorium is a jewel in our Inland Valley.

It was constructed in 1939 on the campus of what was then Chaffey College. The architects, Allison and Allison, were known for designing several buildings on the UCLA campus and at the Claremont Colleges and used the model of Spanish Colonial design for Gardiner Spring.

Gardiner Spring Auditorium has a rich history. Over the years many illustrious artists have performed on its stage. Among them were Victor Borge, Paul Robeson, The Trapp Family Singers, Eddie Canter, Glen Miller’s Orchestra, Marion Anderson, Isaac Stern and many, many more.

We are privileged to continue the tradition of enjoying fine entertainment in this elegant setting. The building seats 2,100 making it the largest indoor entertainment venue in San Bernardino County. It also houses an Austin Theatre organ, which was built in 1919. The organ’s 3,894 pipes are installed in two rooms over the auditorium’s stage.
