Visalia Fox Theatre

It's about the experience! This venue is good for a non-mainstream concert show. Many comedy shows come thru here and do well. Rock and country concerts are another matter entirely. Although security is present they do not enforce seating at all. You may pay for a premium seat but folks are allowed to bounce to the front and down the aisles near the stage and block your view. There is seating only in the orchestra area no pit so essentially folks are on top of you or stealing your purchased premium seat to be near the stage. Quite annoying! Folks are also over served alcohol which makes for an even less pleasant experience when you're getting spilled drinks on you and hit in the head because a drunk girl can't control her swaying hands. I witnessed this and no action by security standing nearby. It's sponsored by Budweiser so expect Bud products. No food only overpriced popcorn to go with the over priced beer, cocktails and wine. One regular sized can of beer is $12. Sometimes it's not about the money you make it's about the customer experience! The Fox theatre in Bakersfield is well managed and a completely more pleasant experience as a concert venue. If you're looking to have a positive time out making great memories then select the Bakersfield Fox theatre over the one in Visalia.

Came for Gals and Guitars Concert and it was a great time! The theater is beautiful and defiantly would go again. Just need a smoother way for food service as it can clutter the hall way to the theater

There are many timeless theaters remaining along the great byroads of America. Symbolic landmarks of timeless towns. Some of which serve as the town's clock tower. Providing the latest movie premieres while hosting special Broadway style events. Events which extend beyond theater. As places like Visalia are peaceful towns. Businesses and restaurants are pieces of the event as part of their shared connections. When you notice a theater event, be aware of the time. Time to think like a Visalia fox and enjoy putting the pieces together

Desperately need an AC upgrade! Temperatures upstairs were at heat, exhaustion levels for the Aaron Lewis concert in May 2023! I will not go back again! People all around us were starting to feel sick. It was so hot!

I took my mother to Visalia Fox Theatre to see The Beach Boys. We arrived 30 minutes before the show started. We were checked by security, our tickets were scanned, and we were in! The staff we met were helpful and courteous. The lobby was a tight squeeze with people waiting in the concessions line (alcohol was sold outside), browsing the merchandise table, or just chatting it up. Our seats were definitely a snug fit with minimal leg room- thank goodness for intermission. Being such a small theatre most seats come with a good view of the stage. Our seats were under the control booth and the stage light shone right over the tops our heads making it a bit difficult to focus. There was an abundant amount of security which made me feel safe. Not sure how rowdy Beach Boy fans can get, but you never know. I'm glad my hometown has a historic place where young and old can come together to enjoy in the arts, music, and other forms of entertainment.

This is an awesome venue. I've enjoyed my experience here! The staff is excellent and very accommodating. From attending concerts to directing shows that have performed at this theatre....a great experience all the way around.

Cute little theatre with vintage details and nice acoustics. There doesn't seem to be a bad seat here-it's laid out kind of like an old movie theatre. Security here was so kind and efficient, and were very laid back. There were several fights during the concert that they broke up without being aggressive. My only complaint is that the A/C barely worked-it was so hot in here. The band and audience were all drenched in sweat which was really uncomfortable. Otherwise, a great experience.

I went and saw Carlos Mencia last night at the Fox Theater. Really like that place reminds me of going and watching the Saturday matinee shows. Mencia was good he performed almost two hours and the warm up acts put on a good show. The theater was great but the staff seemed behind the ball a little bit. People sitting in the balcony with general admission tickets. Makes sense to me. Apparently some of those seats were assigned. No way to know that until after about 20 people sat in the wrong chairs. Other than that good show in our town. Glad there is a facility like this on Main Street USA.

There is no such thing as a bad seat in the Visalia Fox. I have seen three performances here so far and after the first visit I knew I could have the "worst" seat in the house yet still have a perfect view of the stage and performers.The decor inside the building is beautiful and the bathrooms are really clean. I have seen BB King, Anjelah Johnson, and Vince Gill here. I admit they could find more popular acts but in my opinion the shows I have seen booked here are not bad :)

The Fox Theatre has to be considered Visalia's most prized cultural landmark. It is the best place in town to take a date if you want a dash of culture. I have been there to see the Tulare County Symphony several times and have not been disappointed.
