Local Events at Rivian South Coast Theater

Set along Pacific Coast Highway in the heart of Laguna Beach, the Rivian South Coast Theater is a beautifully restored 1930s-era landmark reimagined as a modern gathering place for film, community, and connection. Originally opened as a classic movie house, the space has been thoughtfully revived to bring cinema back to downtown Laguna in a fresh, welcoming way.

Today, the theater blends its historic charm with a contemporary, community-focused atmosphere. Guests can enjoy curated film programming that ranges from new feature films to adventure and documentary screenings, often in partnership with local organizations and film festivals.

More than just a movie venue, the Rivian South Coast Theater was designed as a place to gather. It regularly hosts family-friendly screenings, educational programming, and community events that bring locals and visitors together. Whether it’s a casual movie night, a meaningful documentary, or a seasonal favorite, the experience feels intimate, approachable, and rooted in Laguna Beach’s creative spirit.

For guests, it’s an easy and memorable outing—an opportunity to step into a piece of local history, unwind with a great film, and be part of a space that celebrates storytelling, sustainability, and community.
