Inside Jacksonville’s Historic — And Haunted? — Florida Theatre, Which Turns 100 Next Year
The nearly century-old venue has hosted acts including Elvis Presley, Fleetwood Mac and Bon Jovi — and according to some, it's home to multiple active spirits.
AI Summary
The Florida Theatre in Jacksonville, a nearly century‑old venue, has hosted acts such as Elvis Presley, Fleetwood Mac and Bon Jovi. In summer 2020, the COVID‑induced touring pause allowed the City of Jacksonville and the Florida Theatre Performing Arts Center to carry out capital improvements. Upgrades included new lighting, sound and video systems and new seats throughout the house. Two balcony seats were restored instead of replaced to honor the theater’s reputed ghost, “J.” The renovations aimed to preserve the historic movie palace while modernizing its facilities.
