About Pageant Theatre
Pageant Theatre is a cozy, intimate venue that specializes in showing independent, foreign, and eccentric films, including old-school horror and unusual movies. Visitors appreciate the theater’s good taste in movies and enjoy a selection of vegan snacks, popcorn, and craft beers. The theater offers a comfortable seating experience and a decent sound system, making it a great place to watch quirky and non-blockbuster films. Ticket prices are affordable at around $8.50, but the theater is cash only and has limited seating. Despite some website and phone message issues, the friendly staff and quality snacks make it a charming spot for movie lovers seeking unique screenings and a relaxed atmosphere.
The Pageant is one of my eternal Chico favorites, seeing rare movies here for over 20 years. Check them out.

This place is such a blessing to our community! Offering a place to watch important films, support local business, and eat organic popcorn. Perfect date spot. Off the beaten path, a cool part of Chico right near the park.

Best lil'theater in town! Be sure to bring cash for snacks/drinks. No atm or credit cards there. Great place to see movies you won't see at the big cinema. Definitely a chico favorite.
