Del Mar Theater, Santa Cruz

The Del Mar Theater was originally built in 1936, at the height of the movie palace era. One of this theater's highlights is its Art Deco style that is reminiscent of the period of its construction. A restoration in 2002 gave the theater updated sound and projection systems for a first-rate experience.

This theater is a triplex in grand style. You can easily enjoy the latest Hollywood blockbusters here, as well as foreign and independent films. Midnight movie screenings are among some of the most popular events hosted here. Local community groups also host presentations here fairly regularly.

One of the most enjoyable areas of this theater for many visitors is the concession area, featuring a ceiling in Art Deco style. Organic popcorn with real butter is one of the most popular foods on the concession menu. You can also choose from other popular local snacks here as well.
