This Wednesday, January 10, The Plaza Live (Facebook | Website) will activate its newly restored historic tower on top of its Milk District venue at 425 N. Bumby Avenue [GMap].
The Plaza Live is one of Orlando’s oldest theaters and has been undergoing extensive renovation since last year to the tune of $10 million. The performance venue, which is also home to the Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra, is getting almost completely overhauled with a long list of projects including a new rotunda in the front lobby, an expanded main bar, a new additional bar that serves the lobby, the front parking lot, and a new private VIP room that’s available for pre-game/event rentals, and a whopping new air conditioning system that representatives told Bungalower would be a “game changer.”
The spire that sits atop the building was removed in early August 2023 and shipped out-of-state to be cleaned up and rewired with LED lighting and for a long-overdue tuneup. The spire was reinstalled two weeks ago has yet to be publicly turned on.
Join Mayor Dyer and commissioners Patty Sheehan and Jim Gray for a quick ceremony ahead of its first public activation at 5:30 p.m.
