This 2,031-seat cultural jewel in St. Petersburg’s vibrant down- town has been the area’s premier entertainment destination since its doors opened 50 years ago. From the moment visitors arrive at the beautiful bay front outdoor plaza, through the palatial doors, they feel uniquely welcomed, pampered and energized. The enhanced Mahaffey Experience has been touted as unique and exceptional by performing arts lovers of all ages. Patrons can relax on custom-designed furniture throughout the lobby or look out over Tampa Bay from The Mahaffey’s two- story glass atrium while enjoying signature cocktails. Live music and a bustling dance floor turn the atrium into a stylish nightclub atmosphere featuring some of the area’s best bands and DJs for after-theater parties. The Mahaffey’s calendar showcases a diverse array of the
world’s top entertainment. From The Florida Orchestra (www.
floridaorchestra.org) to family shows, Broadway to ballet, rock
‘n’ roll to R&B, patrons can enjoy it all in comfort and style. Bill Edwards Foundation for the Arts members receive the ultimate experience with access to the exclusive VIP lounge, backstage opportunities, and artist meet-and-greets, all while supporting arts education in St. Petersburg. The Mahaffey, in conjunction with the City of St. Petersburg, supports the Class Acts Program, which enables school children to experience the performing arts through in-theater performances as well as in-school outreach and extension programs.
