History
The Palms Playhouse originated in an old South Davis barn in the late 1970s, and soon evolved into a superb live music venue. Regardless of dust or drafts, the old barn was regarded as ideal for acoustics and atmosphere. After 27 years in the old barn, The Palms Playhouse relocated in 2002 to the 19th-century Winters Opera House, nestled in the heart of downtown Winters. In 2016, longtime Palms owner Dave Fleming retired, and the current owners took the reins.

The Palms Playhouse is located in downtown Winters, a 40-minute drive from downtown Sacramento and a one-and-a-half-hour drive from downtown San Francisco.
