Majestic Ventura Theatre, Music venue in downtown Ventura, United States

The Majestic Ventura Theatre is a concert and event hall in downtown Ventura, California, built in the Spanish Colonial Revival style. The main hall features high ceilings, a central sunburst chandelier, and decorative details covering the walls and ceiling throughout.

The theatre opened in 1928, when Ventura was an oil boom town; its opening programme mixed an organ solo, newsreels, Our Gang comedies, vaudeville and the film Excess Baggage. Architect Lewis Arthur Smith designed it and the flanking office building in Spanish Colonial Revival style, with interiors by Robert E. Power Studios of San Francisco. The City of Ventura declared it a landmark in 1976, and it joined the National Register of Historic Places in 1986; the office building, modernised in 1958, was excluded from that designation.

The theatre's name comes from its 1928 opening as a movie palace; the opening programme mixed an organ solo, newsreels, Our Gang comedies, a vaudeville act and the film Excess Baggage. Its gilt interior was designed by Robert E. Power Studios of San Francisco and has been restored. The venue now hosts concerts.

The theatre stands in downtown Ventura, where it shares its block with a flanking office building that was modernized in 1958 and left out of the historic designation. The auditorium holds 1,150 people, so the room is the same size whatever the bill. Look for the building's Spanish Colonial Revival detailing from the street before a show.

The theatre was the only luxury movie palace built in Ventura County in the 1920s. Its 1928 opening night mixed an organ solo, the latest news, Our Gang comedies, a vaudeville act and the film Excess Baggage. The flanking office building was modernized in 1958 and left out of the 1986 National Register listing.
