Your Ticket To History

The Tivoli Theatre is a significant part of Chattanooga's history, having played many roles, including that of a source of civic pride, a gathering place for the community, and a place to enjoy the arts. Known as the "Jewel of the South," the theater features Beaux-Arts architecture, a combination of French neoclassicism with Renaissance and Baroque elements, while utilizing modern materials, such as iron, glass, and, later, steel. Primarily a moving-picture palace in its early years, it remains an essential and thriving part of the city's culture, with more than a hundred years of memories preserved within its walls.

The Tivoli Theatre Foundation aims to keep the theater alive and flourishing by making necessary repairs and improvements, including creating the new Tivoli Performing Arts Center, a gathering place for the entire community. These updates will preserve the theater's past while ensuring it shines for future generations.
