Celebrating 103 Years of the Castro Theatre
Celebrating 103 Years of the Castro Theatre
Today marks 103 years since the grand opening of San Francisco’s beloved Castro Theatre, a landmark of cinematic excellence and a cornerstone of LGBTQ+ cultural history.
Over the past century, the Castro has hosted everything from silent films and classic cinema to community events, political rallies, and world-class live performances.
Now, as it enters its second century, the Theatre is undergoing a transformative $ 40 million renovation led by Another Planet Entertainment — a project that honors its storied legacy while adapting the space for the evolving needs of audiences and artists alike.
This is more than a facelift — it’s a reinvestment in the future of one of the city’s most iconic venues, ensuring it remains a gathering place for generations to come.
