At the heart of California’s Temecula Valley is a hotspot of entertainment and cultural heritage: the Pechanga Summits event center. Testament to the Pechanga Band of Luiseño Indians' dedication to enriching the community with world-class entertainment among many other things, the center has become a jewel in the crown of the region’s landscape.

Pechanga Summit’s roots are woven with innovation, vision, and cultural pride. The state-of-the-art facility fast-became a leading destination for an array of events, from concerts featuring globally acclaimed artists to high-profile corporate conventions and community functions.

Having a seating capacity that rivals some of the country’s most renowned arenas, this facility has hosted many unforgettable performances that have contributed to Southern California’s cultural robustness. Grammy award-winning musicians and comedians with boundless wits have climbed this stage to the awe of diverse audiences.

In addition to their penchant for entertainment, the Pechanga Band of Luiseño Indians are committed to economic growth and sustainable development in the region. This has seen the Summit become more than an event center; it is a catalyst for local business, draws visitors from far and wide, and provides a craft-showcasing platform for artisans.

However, one thing that perhaps quite sets apart Pechanga Summit is its intentionality in eulogizing the Pechanga people’s cultural endowment. Partnering with local indigenous communities and initiatives helps the establishment aim at promoting education and awareness. Succinctly, they uphold the legacy of the First Nations peoples.

Within, the Pechanga Summit is sophisticated and versatile. It boasts a 40,000-square-foot custom-designed ballroom and meeting space, which can be partitioned into five sections to meet different needs. The venue has round-the-clock catering and banquet service, dressing rooms, entertainers’ Green Room, and an indoor pre-function space with phone charging stations.
