From the reviews
A stunning theater with incredible, ornate decor. The renovation makes it hard to believe the place was abandoned for 20+ years. Staff is very friendly, nearby parking is aplenty. Handicapped accessible, clean bathrooms, great lighting. Available for private events like weddings, which is so cool.
What a beautiful venue. Perfect space for a concert, it had great acoustics. You felt transported to a time when theaters themselves were art. I love it when cities preserve these historical gems and not turn them into office buildings or a parking garage. I went to see Donny Osmond in concert.
As a husband and wife photo/video team we absolutely ADORE shooting at Palace Theater. It has all of the romantic and cinematic vibes any wedding couple deserves and NEEDS! From the stage to the lobby, everything is absolutely picture perfect!
I recently attended One Vision of Queen featuring Marc Martel on June 14, 2025, and it was truly unforgettable. Marc's voice so uncannily close to Freddie Mercury's was absolutely breathtaking. It was amazing to hear anthems like Bohemian Rhapsody and We Are the Champions, his performance was nothing short of magical.
