Historical Cocoanut Grove

The 'Cocoanut Grove' is a conference center, banquet room and performing arts venue at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk in Santa Cruz, California.
The Cocoanut Grove has been part of the Boardwalk in one form or another since the park opened in 1907, adopting its current name in the 1930s. In the 1930s and 1940s, the Grove was a popular spot for major big band acts, including Benny Goodman, Artie Shaw, Lawrence Welk and Merv Griffin.
Today, the Grove rarely hosts musical acts. It is primarily a venue for weddings, banquets, school reunions and corporate events. Soquel High School in nearby Soquel, California regularly holds its winter formal there.
"''Cocoanut''" is an antiquated spelling of the word "coconut", as in the Marx Brothers film ''The Cocoanuts''.
