Roxie Theater

Roxie Theater is a historic, nonprofit arthouse cinema in San Franciscos Mission District, dating back to the early 1900s and celebrated as one of the oldest continuously operating movie theaters in the United States. It showcases independent, international, and documentary films, as well as film festivals and special events, drawing cinephiles, locals, and visitors who want a distinctive cultural experience in a lively neighborhood.

The theater sits on busy 16th Street near Mission, an area with heavy pedestrian and vehicle traffic, especially evenings and weekends, which can make finding a space challenging and makes it wise to plan parking near Roxie Theater in advance. Street parking in the Mission is limited, often metered with time restrictions and residential permit rules, so visitors should allow extra time to circle the block, observe posted signs carefully, and consider reserving secure off-street parking ahead of time to reduce stress. As local regulations and availability can change, travelers should always review the latest official city and theater guidance before driving and parking for their visit.
