The Memories on H Project began in 2021 as a way to connect with our community and create a book filled with the history of our beautiful theater – a book that will help preserve, entertain and educate the general public about this majestic theater for generations to come. With 90 years of events and audiences making memories inside our walls, we need your help to bring the pages of this book together.
So what do we need? We need you to help us dig up as much of your stories, photos, old ticket stubs, and knowledge about the theater as possible. We want to know about all of the concerts, shows, and events that have happened under its roof. Do you have old show photos, merchandise, posters, or other show items lying around? We want to document them! Did you or a relative work here and leave behind old uniforms, nametags, or awards? We want to see them! We especially want to hear the stories about your special experiences. Did you have your first kiss, accept a marriage proposal, or meet someone special here? We want to hear about it! Any 1952 earthquake stories? We want to know it all, and we need you to help fill in the blank pages of this project.
We’re excited to hear about the memories that make the Historic Bakersfield Fox Theater unique and share the photos and stories that are submitted to us. To submit your stories and photos please fill out this form or email history@thebakersfieldfox.com: Fox Memories Submissions.
