100 Years of Cinema Magic

The Avalon Theatre has turned 100!

Explore a century of films for the young and the young-at-heart in celebration of the Avalon Theatre’s 100th birthday. Throughout 2023 The Avalon’s special 100 Years of Cinema Magic Centennial film program was held. Each month we presented a special film from a different decade the Avalon has been operating!
