THE JOY THEATER IS A 1,200-PERSON CAPACITY HISTORIC EVENT VENUE ON CANAL STREET IN DOWNTOWN NEW ORLEANS.
As one of the first movie theaters to open in downtown New Orleans in the 1940s, the Joy Theater has been a Canal Street icon for decades. Today, our transformed theater brings thousands of people together every week to enjoy sounds from the best on the scene — including Summer Walker, Rufus Du Sol, Galactic, Future Islands, RuPaul’s Drag Race, and GRiZ.
