Jacksonville, FL Exit 353BC: The Florida Theatre in Jacksonville is a wonderful example of the movie palaces built throughout the state in the late 1920’s. It features a Mediterranean-influenced design with grand balconies, columns, fountains and twinkling stars overhead. The lavish interior decor offers incredible acoustics and near-perfect sight lines from every one of the theatre’s 1,900 seats.
This theatre holds special memories for four generations from the Vaudeville acts and silent films of its earliest days to today’s blend of performances of all kinds.
