The Paramount Theatre, also known as the Oakland Paramount, is an Art Deco venue located in downtown Oakland. It primarily hosts concerts, film screenings, and theatre performances.
The theatre opened in 1931, designed by architect Timothy L. Pflueger. It quickly became an iconic structure, known for its luxurious and striking Art Deco design. During the Great Depression, it served as a venue for various entertainment forms, providing an escape for many. It underwent several renovations and restorations, particularly in the 1970s, to preserve its historical significance. Today, it continues to be a cultural landmark in Oakland, hosting a wide range of events and performances.
