Dignity Health Arena upcoming events — Bakersfield, California

Discover the Premier Dignity Health Arena

The Dignity Health Arena is more than an arena — it's a premier destination that brings big-stage energy to downtown Bakersfield. From major tours to hometown hockey, Dignity Health Arena upcoming events light up the calendar with concerts, sports, and family shows just 110 miles north of Los Angeles.

Opened in 1998, the arena was originally known as Centennial Garden before later becoming Rabobank Arena and, today, Dignity Health Arena. It accommodates up to 10,400 fans for concerts and features a modern design with flexible seating to match the event. Inside, advanced sound and lighting systems support everything from chart-topping acts to large-scale productions.

Programming here runs the gamut—home ice for the Bakersfield Condors (AHL), blockbuster concerts, family staples like Disney on Ice and the Harlem Globetrotters, and community conventions. The building has welcomed icons such as Elton John, Cher, KISS, Carrie Underwood, Metallica, Shania Twain, Justin Bieber, and Snoop Dogg, and has hosted the AHL All-Star Classic, marquee boxing matches, and NCAA basketball games.

Its downtown location means you’re steps from restaurants, bars, and hotels, and the arena’s interior adapts seamlessly to each show with reserved seating, floor configurations for concerts, and suites. Fans enjoy clear sightlines in the bowl and the kind of pro-grade production technology that makes every show feel like a tour highlight.

From the first puck drop to the final encore, Dignity Health Arena blends convenience and excitement—an easy-to-reach hub in downtown Bakersfield where top-tier events come to life.

Location and Transportation

Venue Address

Dignity Health Arena

1001 Truxtun Avenue

Bakersfield, California 93301

Located in downtown Bakersfield—about 110 miles north of Los Angeles—the arena is easy to reach whether you’re local or traveling in for a show.

• Parking: On-site parking lots and nearby garages are available; typical event parking ranges from $10–$20. Street parking may be available but is limited near the venue on event nights.
• Public Transit: Kern Transit bus routes serve downtown Bakersfield, and the Amtrak station is within walking distance of the arena.
• Rideshare & Dropoff: Designated pickup and dropoff zones are located on Truxtun Avenue and N Street to help streamline arrivals and departures.

Arrival Recommendations

Aim to arrive 60–90 minutes before showtime. This gives you time to park, pass through security, and find your seats without rushing—especially helpful on high-demand nights or when floors are configured for concerts and queues can form.

While Dignity Health Arena is fully indoors, summer heat in Bakersfield can make the walk from parking areas feel warm. Dress for the weather outside and bring water for the approach if needed. Once you’re in the building, you’ll enjoy a comfortable, climate-controlled environment.

If you’re taking public transit or rideshare, plan your dropoff on Truxtun Avenue or N Street. The downtown location is pedestrian-friendly with minimal elevation changes, making it straightforward to navigate to the entrances. Give yourself a few extra minutes if you’re meeting friends so you can connect before scanning in.

Venue Navigation

Inside the arena, a traditional bowl layout wraps the floor and ice surface, with concourses that circle the seating areas for easy access to concessions and restrooms. Numbered sections (100s, 200s) are clearly marked, and event staff can guide you to suites on the upper levels or to club and premium areas.

You’ll find multiple concession stands offering classic arena fare—pizza, hot dogs, nachos, popcorn, and more—plus select stands with local craft beer and specialty snacks. Team and event merchandise kiosks are located throughout the concourses, and ATMs and charging stations are available if you need to top up before the show. If you expect to move around the concourse or visit several kiosks, comfortable footwear can make your night even easier.

Security and Policies

• Bag Policy: Clear bags only, up to 12"x6"x12"; small clutches allowed up to 4.5"x6.5".
• Prohibited Items: Weapons, outside food and drink, large bags, professional cameras, laser pointers, noisemakers, and selfie sticks.
• Re-entry Policy: No re-entry once you exit the venue.
• Service Animals: Permitted for guests with disabilities.

Post-Purchase Tips — Be Ready for Event Day

• Download your tickets before arriving — cell service can be limited.
• Bring a valid ID and cashless payment option.
• Charge your phone fully.
• Review venue policies in advance.
• Arrive 60–90 minutes early to navigate parking and security smoothly.
• If you’re attending during warmer months, plan for heat during the walk from parking and use the Truxtun Avenue or N Street rideshare zones for a quick dropoff.

Pre-Event Planning

Make the most of the downtown location by planning dinner or drinks nearby before your show. With several restaurants and bars within walking distance, you can relax, meet up with friends, and head into the arena together right on time. The building is illuminated at night, making the approach part of the experience.

Coordinate your group using a clear meetup point—such as the rideshare zone along Truxtun Avenue—before scanning into the building. If you’re comparing views for a larger group, use Ticket Purchase’ interactive map and the Dignity Health Arena seating chart together so everyone agrees on sections and price points ahead of time.

For high-demand dates—like major concerts, Dignity Health Arena events such as Disney on Ice, or marquee Condors matchups—purchase parking early when available, or budget extra time to use nearby garages. The Amtrak station’s walkable proximity also makes transit an easy option if you’re coming from nearby areas.

Accessibility

Dignity Health Arena is ADA-accessible, with designated ADA parking in on-site lots near main entrances, accessible seating available on all levels, and elevators and ramps that connect public areas. Assistive listening devices can be requested at guest services, and ADA-compliant service animals are welcome.

If you need help selecting accessible seating or planning your arrival, contact Ticket Purchase for personalized support before you buy. We’ll help you compare accessible sections on the Dignity Health Arena seating chart and secure the spots that best fit your needs.

Dining Options

Inside the venue, you’ll find concessions serving classic arena favorites like pizza, hot dogs, nachos, and popcorn, along with soft drinks and beverages. Select stands feature local craft beer and specialty snacks to elevate your night out.

Merchandise kiosks are positioned throughout the concourses so you can grab Condors gear or tour memorabilia on your way to your seats or between periods/sets.
