Colonial Theatre - Idaho Falls events — Idaho Falls, Idaho

Discover the Historic Colonial Theatre - Idaho Falls

The Colonial Theatre - Idaho Falls is more than a historic theater — it's a treasured gathering place that blends 1919 elegance with a modern performance experience. Set in the heart of downtown Idaho Falls, the venue anchors a vibrant district filled with dining, arts, and community energy. From concerts to community showcases, Colonial Theatre - Idaho Falls events bring this storied stage to life year-round.

Opened in 1919, the theater features a 988-seat layout that preserves its vaudeville-era charm. A fully refurbished interior highlights restored architectural details, a grand lobby, and period-appropriate decor, while modern stage and film presentation systems ensure high-quality sound and visuals. It’s a rare mix of historic ambiance with the comforts today’s audiences expect.

Through a century of entertainment, the Colonial shifted from a vaudeville house to a movie theater (1929–1990) and back to live performances. Today, it hosts a wide variety of programming — concerts, theater, film presentations, and community events — continuing its legacy as a cultural centerpiece for Idaho Falls. While the headliners change, the magic of a live show in this classic setting never does.

Whether you’re catching a concert, a film screening, or a local production, you’ll feel the theater’s spirit from the moment you step into the lobby. It’s an intimate, well-loved space — the kind of venue where you’re close to the stage, connected to the performance, and immersed in a century of local arts history.
