Cine El Rey

The historic Cine El Rey theater opened in 1947, and it was an important part of the city’s hispanic community for 40 years, showing primarily Spanish-language films. Ultimately, the downtown theater closed in 1988.

Cine El Rey now hosts concerts, film festivals, comedy shows, and other special events. Its distinctive marquee is an icon of the newly revived 17th Street entertainment district.
