Venue Details

Get ready for an unforgettable VANtalks experience on Thursday, May 25th at the Kiggins Theater - the only historic theatre still operating in Vancouver! Since 1936, the Kiggins has been a community gathering place and a classic icon on downtown Vancouver's Main Street. The theater has undergone many renovations, including the addition of the Marquee Lounge upstairs, where you can enjoy beer and wine while watching your favorite classic or indie films.

In 2012, the Kiggins was added to the National Register of Historic Places, and its community-centric focus has led to a diverse array of programming that goes beyond film, such as stand-up comedy, science lectures, and theater performances. Come and experience the charm of this historic venue for yourself at VANtalks!
