Celebrating Stories That Connect

A hometown theater with world-class innovation and stories that bring community together

At Celebration Cinema, the magic goes far beyond the screen. With deep roots in West Michigan, this family-owned company has transformed the theater experience into a vibrant town square—where people gather, share stories, and create lasting memories. Known for pioneering innovations like the world’s first Megaplex and introducing tiered stadium seating east of the Mississippi, they’ve redefined what going to the movies means.

“We have a story to tell. And then we want your story to build on the stories we share with you.”

- John Loeks, Chairman of Celebration Cinema

But it’s their heart that truly sets them apart. Many team members have been with Celebration Cinema for years, a testament to the culture of belonging that makes it feel like home. Whether it’s a family outing, date night, or community event, Celebration Cinema is more than a theater—it’s a place where connections are built. We’re proud to partner with organizations like Celebration Cinema because bringing people together is what strengthens communities.
