Diamond Anniversary Celebration of the San Diego Civic Theatre

This week marks an incredible milestone at San Diego Theatres as the San Diego Civic Theatre is turning 60! For six decades, the Civic Theatre has been a cornerstone of our city’s cultural and artistic community, proudly serving as a space that creates moments that matter for generations of San Diegans. From Sonny & Cher and La Bohème to Wicked and The Nutcracker, the Civic Theatre's stage has come alive with performances that entertain, delight, and inspire.

The Civic Theatre has a long-standing legacy as a venue created for the people and community of San Diego. In 2024 alone, we welcomed over 300,000 patrons to more than 140 performances, contributing $23 million to the local economy through entertainment and shared experiences.

The Civic Theatre is more than a building—it’s the home of countless memories for hundreds of thousands of patrons annually and serves as a showcase of the world-class talent that San Diego offers. In 2025, the theatre itself takes the spotlight as we kick off a yearlong diamond anniversary celebration dedicated to honoring our history and building a vibrant future.

Get ready for exciting performances, anniversary events, and more to come!

Thank you for being a part of this journey. Together, let’s celebrate the past 60 years while embracing all the possibilities ahead.

Cheers to another 60 years!
