When the Fox Theater opened its doors in Oakland, California in October 1928, 20,000 patrons thronged Oakland’s newest movie palace to experience music on the Mighty Wurlitzer, a live stage show and one of the latest innovations, the “talkies” that were replacing silent films.

But one of the biggest draws was the massive domed theater itself, an opulent and exotic mix of terra cotta tiles, dizzyingly detailed paintings and golden deities, reminiscent of a Brahmin Temple.

For more than three decades, the Fox held its own as a first-run movie house (with the largest stage west of the Mississippi) in a bustling downtown entertainment and shopping district. The Fox recently reopened as a premier live music venue under the direction of Another Planet Entertainment in January of 2009. This stunningly beautiful, fully restored theatre is the special events gem of the East Bay.  The Fox features a flexible floor plan, built in stage, sound and lighting systems, and excellent acoustics.  Centrally located in the Uptown neighborhood of Oakland, the theater is close to BART and has ample parking options nearby. The venue is available for day and evening events.
