The historic auditorium may be closed for restoration, but there are still plenty of reasons to visit Tampa Theatre! On Wednesday, April 22, Tampa’s majestic movie palace is hosting a Franklin Street Block party – presented by Urban E Recycling – in celebration of Earth Day.
The event is FREE and open to the public, and will feature music, giveaways, family-friendly activities, community partners and vendors filling the 700-block of Franklin Street from 5pm to 7pm.
More vendors are being added every day! Guests are also invited to bring books in good condition and rooted or potted plant cuttings for a Book and Plant Exchange near the Theatre’s Box Office.
