The Fox Theater Pomona is a historic and renowned entertainment venue located in the heart of Pomona, California, United States. Originally opened in 1931 as a lavish movie palace, the theater was designed in the Art Deco style by architects Clifford A. Balch and Floyd E.
Stanberry, reflecting the glamour and optimism of early 20th-century architecture. For decades, the Fox Theater served as a premier destination for film screenings and community gatherings, cementing its reputation as a cultural landmark in the Pomona Valley. As the popularity of traditional movie theaters waned in the latter half of the 20th century, the building saw periods of closure and neglect, even facing the threat of demolition during the 1970s and 1980s.
However, a dedicated preservation effort helped save the Fox Theater, culminating in a major restoration project that began in the early 2000s. Following a multimillion-dollar renovation, the venue reopened in 2009 as a state-of-the-art concert hall and special events space, maintaining its original Art Deco grandeur while incorporating modern amenities and high-end sound systems. Since then, the Fox Theater Pomona has become a cornerstone of the Inland Empire and Los Angeles music scene, revered for its acoustics, unique atmosphere, and role in revitalizing downtown Pomona.
Its stage has hosted a diverse array of performances, infusing the area with cultural energy and drawing visitors from across Southern California. Throughout its history, the structure has remained at its original location and has seen careful preservation rather than significant relocation or alteration in layout, with restoration focused on retaining its historic charm while enhancing functionality. Notable artists who have performed at Fox Theater Pomona include international acts such as Prince, Arctic Monkeys, Kendrick Lamar, Deadmau5, The Black Keys, Morrissey, Beck, Skrillex, Phoenix, Interpol, Disclosure, and Sigur Rós, alongside well-known local and regional performers like Deftones, Los Lobos, The Growlers, and WAR.
