Fox Theater
The Fox Theatre in Atlanta is a restored movie palace turned cultural jewel. A National Historic Landmark, The Fox Theatre serves up a full menu of live performances, ranging from dance to opera to Broadway shows to rock concerts.
In addition to live entertainment, The Fox Theater showcases the Coca-Cola Summer Film Festival, which features current and old movies. The highlight of the film series at the Fabulous Fox Theater is "Mighty Mo," a pipe organ with 4,000 pipes. Built at a cost of $42,000 in 1929, the pipe organ was valued at $400,000 less than 50 years later.
Originally intended to be the Yaarab Temple Shrine Mosque, the Fox Theater Atlanta welcomed movie audiences for the first time on Christmas Day, 1929. Although it enjoyed a successful career as a movie theater, the Fabulous Fox Theatre faced possible demolition until it was rescued by a nonprofit organization in the 1970s. Today, the Fox Theater Atlanta welcomes 750,000 visitors a year.
