The Babcock Theatre has been a cornerstone of downtown Billings since it first opened its doors in 1907. Originally built for live performances and vaudeville, it later became a premier movie house, bringing generations of entertainment to the community. Its elegant design, with decorative plasterwork, a grand stage and old-world charm captures the spirit of early 20th-century theaters.
More than just a beautiful building, the Babcock represents over a century of Billings’ cultural history. Thanks to thoughtful restoration, it continues to serve as both a movie theater and an event space, keeping its legacy alive for new audiences.
Today, visitors can enjoy a mix of classic films, indie features, concerts and community events within its storied walls. For those exploring Billings, the Babcock Theatre is not only a place to be entertained but also a window into the city’s vibrant past.
