Straz Center for the Performing Arts

What travelers say:

The Straz Center has five theaters, a rehearsal hall and a beautiful riverside trail, and is also a major performing arts center in downtown Tampa, which was heavily renovated in 2018, so the entire art center is now renovated with individual pavilions. Colors, from Broadway tours, large operas, jazz concerts, performing arts and free movie series on the lawn, can be seen here. Next to the art center is a large lawn, and the scenery is very beautiful. It covers 9 acres. It is also the second largest performing arts complex in the Southeast of the United States. The Straz Performing Arts Center opened to the public in July 1987, and later in 2009 to thank David A. Straz Jr. for their donations. The venue was renamed The David A. Straz Jr. Center for the Performing Arts, which is also the largest personal charity donation received by the Tampa City Cultural Organization. Standing in front of the Art Center Building, you can overlook the riverside scenery. There will not be many tourists here. I feel that the whole park is very quiet and comfortable.
