Empress Theatre

Restored 1912 theatre that still screens films and hosts live performances.

The Empress Theatre is the most photogenic single building on Fort Macleod's main street. Built during the town's early twentieth-century boom, it still works as a cinema and performance venue rather than just a preserved facade.

Check the schedule if you are overnighting nearby. Even if you only see it from the street, the theatre helps the downtown feel like a living place instead of an outdoor museum.
