Venue Rental
The Holiday Theater was built in 1914 and was named the Egyptian Theater in 1926. It was renamed the Holiday in 1953 and was of the first theaters in Colorado to present Spanish language films, featured there from the 1960s through the 1980s.
In addition, it has held a variety of other uses over the last 100+ years, including as a Peruvian restaurant, a church, and an occasional location for MCA Denver’s artists’ talks and other creative programming since 2015. MCA Denver at the Holiday Theater opened in April of 2022.
This performance and programming space offers Denver a new long-term hub for the arts and will greatly advance the museum’s mission as well as generate new opportunities for our innovative, community and artist-driven programming and creative partnerships.
