Rancho La Patera & Stow House

Rancho La Patera & Stow House is a historic ranch property in Goleta, cared for by the Goleta Valley Historical Society, with gardens, mature trees, and a broad lawn perfect for summer concerts. It is one of the most family-friendly music settings on the South Coast. The Music at the Ranch series brings free Tuesday evening concerts with food trucks each summer, while a First Sunday series fills the lawn with blankets and lawn chairs in the cooler months. Lineups cover funk, soul, blues, jazz, Latin, bluegrass, swing, and classic rock. The audience spans toddlers to grandparents, and people dance freely on the grass. Big, crowd-friendly bands shine here.
