The tiny town of Bakersfield might not be big, but that doesn't mean its citizens have to go without big entertainment. The town always has an exciting assortment of events to check out at the Fox Theater, which has been a historical institution since 1930. The Fox's retro look and tower have made the building a landmark for generations. Check it out!
With a capacity of 1,500 people, the Fox can hold quite a crowd, and thousands of people have walked its halls over the decades to check out concerts and theatrical productions. The building's history traces back to 1930, when it opened as a movie house that soon started showing talkies. Performances by the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra and pianist Arthur Rubinstein came to follow.
The Fox Theater had a dark period that started in 1977, when the theater was forced to closed due to slowing ticket sales. It was in a kind of development limbo for a long while, with non-profits forming to encourage the preservation of the site. In the end, they are the ones that one, and Fox Theater tickets are still available today. Get your Fox Theater tickets now!
