The published number for the venue is +1 530 8651168.
Chico has 14 venues mapped in total and a population of 102,911. The Chico guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
Formats this suits
An exhibition building is bought by the square foot, not the seat. What decides whether your show fits is column spacing, ceiling height and how many trucks can be on the dock at once, so ask Glenn County Fairgrounds for the hall sheet rather than a capacity number.
- trade shows and exhibitions
Built as a floor rather than a seating plan, which is what an exhibition needs.
- multi-track conferences
The same hall subdivides into tracks once the booths come out.
- career fairs
A booth grid and a single controlled entrance is the whole requirement.
