The Historic Grand Theatre

Located in historic downtown Grand Island at 318 West Third Street, this art-deco style theatre opened in 1911 as the Lyda Theatre and was renamed the Grand in 1931. In 2004 a small group of dedicated business owners came together to save the Grand when it was slated to close. “The Grand Foundation� is a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving the last surviving movie palace in Grand Island as a home for film and local performing arts organizations.

Today, run by all volunteers, the Grand Theatre offers second-run family films at discounted rates on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. In addition, the Grand frequently has live music, speakers and comedians. For information on shows call 308-381-2667 or visit their web site at www.grandmovietheatre.com
