About Us

Festival Hall is a 520-seat theatre located in Pembroke, Ontario, in the heart of the Ottawa Valley, and stands as the largest performance venue between North Bay and Ottawa. Since opening its doors in 1979, the theatre has welcomed tens of thousands of patrons, hosting a wide variety of events and artists.

Owned jointly by the City of Pembroke, Township of Laurentian Valley, and Town of Petawawa, Festival Hall is operated by Kitchissippi Productions since January 2025. From 2012 to 2024, it was run by Eventure Entertainment under Rick Wharton’s leadership, and prior to that, by the Valley Arts Council, a local nonprofit.

Festival Hall continues its mission to support the arts in our community, delivering diverse programming that brings people together.
