Fox Theater

The Fox Oakland Theatre is a stunning 1928 architectural gem, originally a movie palace that transformed into a 2,800-seat concert hall after a $75 million renovation in 2009. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places and designed by Weeks and Day, it captivates with its opulent Moorish and Art Deco interiors—think intricate plasterwork, twinkling stars on the ceiling, and a massive chandelier—that set it apart from Oakland's other venues by evoking a bygone era of Hollywood glamour amid modern live music energy.
