The Bay Theatre opened its doors on February 12, 1946 with Fred MacMurray in “Pardon My Past” along with a few unnamed short subjects, and on its grand opening day, a special showing of Arthur Huey of Leelanau Schools screening his colored home movies on “Sugar Loaf and his Winter Activities” was presented before its first showing.

  • As of 2025, the Bay Theatre shows a mix of first-run films, classic films, independent films, and foreign films.

I saw the Harrison Ford movie “Presumed Innocent” here years ago, and it was a wonderful experience. My Grandparents lived in Traverse City at the time on the west side of town, so it was not far to travel up to Suttons Bay. I’m glad we did, the movie was good, and the theater was great, a really cool small town old fashioned theater. Well worth visiting!

A very pleasant theatre with original wood floors and great acoustics. A good selection of films throughout the year including film series in the winter and part of the TC film festival in the summer. Usually small crowds and easy access.
