Your Guide to the Mount Baker Theatre
Live theater and venues for the performing arts are an important part of a thriving community. Thankfully, Bellingham residents are strong supporters of the arts, giving us this extraordinary and historic venue. The Mount Baker Theater is a National Historic Landmark.

Today, the Mount Baker Theatre is the centerpiece of Bellingham’s Downtown Arts District. It seats an extraordinary 1,517 people and hosts professional productions, concerts, and community performances. In total, there are 3 event venues within the Theatre, hosting a range of acts from local to national headliners. It’s also the home of the Bellingham Symphony Orchestra.
