Established in 1927 and managed by
a local nonprofit since 1987, the historic
Florida Theatre is one of the country’s
Top 100 theatre venues according to
attendance reported to the concert
industry magazine Pollstar. However,
Jacksonville residents have known
for years, like Elvis Costello told the
Times-Union this year, that the Florida
Theatre is, “… one of the great halls.
It’s a tremendous hall. The minute you
walk in there you know that something
good’s going to happen.”
