The state's largest performing arts center north of Seattle occupies a restored vaudeville-era (1927) theater with a 110-foot-tall Moorish tower and a lobby fashioned after a Spanish galleon. It is home to the Bellingham Symphony Orchestra and also presents movies, musicals, and headline performers.
A host of local film festivals, this handsome theater inside a restored historic downtown building is a great place to see diverse indie, classic, and art-house movies. The Pickford presents an outdoor rooftop cinema series in summer as well as a children's film festival in March and other themed movie showcases. It also offers a good selection of beer, wine, and snacks in the lobby.
