Songs and shows on stage in the heart of Port Hope
The Capitol Theatre is a vintage 1930 movie theatre downtown, and one of the last remaining “atmospheric” theatres. You'll find yourself in a medieval castle courtyard beneath a starry sky – a playful and perfect setting for the magic on stage. It's known for amazing theatre productions like 2019's Guys and Dolls and Million Dollar Quartet, concerts and events like the annual Vintage Film Festival in September.
Capitol Theatre auditorium features stars that twinkle overhead.
The Capitol Theatre is a 90-year old building, designated as a national historic site.
The Vintage Film Festival in Port Hope is an annual event that occurs at the Capitol Theatre.
The Capitol Christmas is a Festival of Trees and Lights that occurs annually.
Nostalgic drive-in theatre
The Port Hope Drive-In is another memorable venue to see a movie under a star-studded sky. The theatre started in 1945 and continues the late-night tradition of double features and favourite snacks at the concession stand, including the exclusive Prings, onion rings made like poutine with cheese and gravy.
