About the Florida Theatre Ball – Vegas-Style

Don’t miss “The Florida Theatre Ball:  Vegas-Style,” presented by DEX Imaging on Saturday, May 18, 2024, at 6:00 p.m. at the historic Florida Theatre in downtown Jacksonville. 

 

Join us on May 18th as the nonprofit Florida Theatre is transformed into Vegas.  The evening will support the Theatre's mission to enhance Northeast Florida's quality of life by bringing unique arts and entertainment experiences to our community and preserving a historic Jacksonville landmark. 

 

The event is black tie or costume.  Vegas colors are black, red, or gold.  So, dust off your tux, shop for a new sequin dress, be Elvis with rhinestones, or be a Vegas showgirl complete with a feather headdress.  The choice is yours. 

 

Start the evening with complimentary valet parking for your pink Cadillac, pass the fire dancers under the Florida Theatre marquee, then head into the Theatre for a night of classic cocktails, get your picture taken with Elvis, get married or renew your vows, enjoy the infamous Vegas buffet by Well-Oiled Events, try your luck at Black Jack in the casino, bid on high roller auction items, and dance the night away with The Chris Thomas Project…and give the cage dancers and showgirls a run for their money.

 

Since the first Ball in 2013, The Florida Theatre Ball has raised over $1.7 million to preserve and maintain the majestic Theatre, which will turn 100 in 2027.  Past themes have included The Big Easy, Hollywood, The Eighties, Studio 54, The Roaring Twenties, The Future, and The Fifties.
