January 9, 2012

The Chief Solano statue greets visitors to the new Solano County Events Center at 601 Texas Street in Fairfield.

The Solano County Events Center is open and available for public use, and the community is invited to come by and check out the facility as a possible venue for their next event.

Open houses are scheduled from noon to 1 p.m. on the following Fridays: Jan. 13, Jan. 20, Jan. 27 and Feb. 3.  If you are unable to stop by during these times, call 784-7900 to schedule an appointment.

The Solano County Events Center is located 601 Texas Street in the restored historic Solano County Library, near the corner of Union and Texas Streets in downtown Fairfield.  The renovation project retained the Chief Solano statue, the Spanish Mission architecture, including the decorative tile, fire place and painted beams, and added many modern amenities that make the facility an ideal place to host events.

The Solano County Events Center can accommodate up to 300 people. The facility has more than 7,500 square feet of usable indoor space, with state of the art audiovisual systems and a commercial kitchen available for business conferences, corporate retreats, social galas or weddings.  The building is surrounded by 11,000 square feet of beautifully landscaped grounds, which includes an outdoor patio with a spectacular view of the lighted Plaza fountain.

County Events Center office hours are from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, or they can be reached by email at [email protected].

The historic hand-painted beams of the old County library can be seen in the large conference room of the new Solano County Events Center.  The room can accommodate up to 160 people at tables or up to 200 people theater style.  The original decorative tiles were preserved as part of the renovation of the Solano County Events Center.
