Mechanics Bank Arena
Mechanics Bank Arena is Bakersfield's premier indoor entertainment venue, with a capacity of more than 10,000 and a calendar that runs from country and rock concerts to family shows and Condors hockey. The arena opened in 1998 and anchors the downtown Kern County civic core at the corner of Truxtun Avenue and Q Street. Parking downtown fills quickly on event nights, and the streets surrounding the arena see significant congestion in the hour before and after major shows.
Charter bus drop-off uses the Truxtun Avenue frontage — call ahead to confirm current event-day staging. Check the arena's directions page for current parking guidance before your event.
