Guidebook for Ventura
Arts & Culture
The surplus of sounds makes the scene special, as Ventura has played and continues to play host to music across the spectrum. Excited fans can go from live jazz and classical music to reggae and salsa before rocking out to some of the classic cover bands of California, including Queen Nation and The Mighty Cash Cats—a Johnny Cash cover band—and sometimes even the stars themselves.
The city’s stages have welcomed headliners including, among others, Ray Charles, The Doors, Van Halen and, yes, even Johnny Cash.

This is one of the smaller missions, but is a great visit all the same. I love seeing missions preserved and this one still in use. Grounds are nice. Great view. Visits are self guided.

This is mostly used as a fishing pier and it's one of Ventura's oldest landmarks. There are a couple places to eat. Nice place to watch the surf. If you're visiting from out of state the Ventura Pier is nice stroll up and down for views of the Pacific Ocean.
