The El Rey Theater has quite a claim to fame for Chico, as one of the oldest operating movie theaters in the USA! Opened as the Majestic Theater in 1906, it began showing motion pictures that year and has continued while expanding to hosting musical acts and other events. This historic theater began its life as an Elks Lodge before becoming the Majestic. Take in a show at this unique venue which is a part of our town’s history!
