Independent theaters across the country are closing. But here in Oakhurst, we're different.
This community has heart, and it has already proven that when we stand together, we can keep amazing things alive.Matt Sconce — Co-Owner
The Founders Tree
In our lobby stands a permanent display unlike anything you've seen in a theater. Every new Founders 500 member receives a pine cone, engraved with their name, placed on the Founders Tree.
As the tree grows, so does the story of our community. Each pine cone represents a family, a friend, or a neighbor who chose to keep the movies alive in our mountains.
"People can actually see their impact. Every new pine cone is a living reminder that this place exists because of the people who care about it." — Stacy, General Manager

Join the Founders 500Oakhurst's Hometown Theater
Yosemite Cinema is a locally owned, five-screen movie theater in Oakhurst, California — the gateway to Yosemite National Park. Since 2013, we've been dedicated to exceptional experiences: luxury recliners, local beer and wine, fresh food, and a place where our mountain community gathers to dream together.
This is more than just a membership. It's a statement that small-town dreams still matter, that local places can survive when people choose to support them, and that our community has the power to create its own happy ending.
