The Craneway Pavilion

Richmond's newest event center, the Craneway Pavilion is one of the largest and finest event venues in the Bay Area, boasting stunning architecture and breathtaking views.

The Craneway Pavilion is a one-of-a-kind restoration of the classically styled Ford Assembly Car Plant built in 1930. Powered by one megawatt rooftop solar power plant, the Craneway has all the AV, internet/Ethernet, lighting, audio and PA systems required for corporate galas, music concerts, weddings, fundraisers, performance arts, festivals, film/photo shoots and private events.

With space of 15,000 to 45,000 square feet, and 10,000 square feet of plaza that presents stunning views of San Francisco, the Craneway really does have it all!
