From $18.16

The Avalon Theatre sits at 1 Casino Way in Avalon, California, the island town that serves as the gateway to Santa Catalina Island. On June 28th at 8:00 pm the theatre screens Lilo & Stitch (2025), a 1h 48m family feature that folds island charm into a story about ʻohana and chosen family. The single-screen house projects the kind of communal movie-night energy that feels at home beside Avalon Bay’s harbor and the broad, shelved rock of the Casino's seawall.

The experience begins before the lights dim. A bright marquee announces the evening’s title; the lobby is compact and wheelchair accessible, and an assistive listening device is available for guests who need it. This is a theatrical outing built for the whole island — local residents, day-trippers arriving on the ferry, and families looking for an indoor cap to a sun-filled day of snorkeling and hiking. Admission is straightforward: General $16.50, Child (2–11) $14.50, Senior (65+) $14.50, Avalon Resident $12.50. Note the house policy: no refunds or exchanges, no outside food or beverages, and photography or videography during the feature is strictly prohibited.

What makes this screening a standout in Avalon is how it ties to place. The Avalon Theatre sits shoulder to shoulder with the Casino complex and the harborfront, so a visit becomes part of a broader evening—dinner on Crescent Avenue, a shoreline stroll, then inside for the film. Unlike multiplexes, this venue has an intimacy that echoes island rhythms: shows start on time, staff manage a mature, family-friendly atmosphere, and chaperone rules are enforced for youth under 18 to maintain decorum.

Practical details matter. The run time helps you plan the last ferry or a late-night return; the theatre’s accessibility features make it possible for guests with mobility needs to join comfortably. If you’re arriving by kayak or snorkeling from the shore, wrap up wet activities earlier and change before entry—outside food and wet gear aren’t welcome in the auditorium.

For visitors who come to Avalon for outdoor pursuits, the Avalon Theatre is more than entertainment—it's a weatherproof, social hub where island stories are screened against a backdrop of sea and stone. For families seeking a warm, contained evening after a day of trails, tidepools, and harbor light, this showing of Lilo & Stitch offers a neatly rounded slice of Catalina life.

Check-in for this event is at the meeting point: The Avalon Theatre - 1 Casino Way, Avalon CA. The feature is a Walt Disney Pictures release, rated PG, and includes an ADMIT ONE ticket. Bring photo ID if you’re a senior or Avalon resident for discount. Staff may remove disruptive patrons; arrive early to secure seats and keep conversation low once the lights go down.
