Casa de Cultura Juan Marinello is the city's premier venue for the performing arts, hosting concerts and other shows. Performances usually start at 9pm on weekdays, and every Sunday they host a street concert at 4pm.
Bars & Nightlife
Like in the rest of Cuba, Santa Clara's nightlife centres around music and dancing. Crowds gather around fabulous live bands at bars, restaurants, and cafes in breezy outdoor terraces and inner courtyards, each one claiming to have the best mojito or daiquiri, and each one also claiming to have been Ernest Hemingway's favourite haunt. That part may not necessarily be true, but that won't get in the way of a good night out.
