About Tivoli Theatre - Chattanooga

The Tivoli Theatre in downtown Chattanooga is a storied Beaux-Arts venue with a rich performance legacy. Opened in 1921 as one of the era’s premier American theatres, it sits at 709 Broad Street and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Today, the theatre is undergoing a major renovation and expansion to become the Tivoli Performing Arts Center, a hub for Broadway-style productions, concerts, and community programming. With a historic footprint and a commitment to modern, world-class performances, the Tivoli remains a cornerstone of Chattanooga’s cultural scene.

seating is distributed across orchestra, boxes, loge, and balconies, with a total capacity around 1,750 seats. While a current public seating chart isn’t published, the capacity breakdown provides a sense of the space: ~1,012 orchestra seats, ~48 boxes, ~78 loge, ~312 balcony, ~312 balcony, and ~104 in the pit. This classic configuration helps create an intimate yet grand concert-going experience, especially as the space transforms into the Tivoli Performing Arts Center with expanded capabilities for artists and productions.

Whether you’re attending a Broadway-style show, a symphonic performance, or a contemporary concert, planning ahead ensures a smooth visit—especially as the Tivoli expands to bring even more exceptional programming to downtown Chattanooga.

Getting to the Tivoli Theatre is convenient for downtown visitors. There is no on-site parking, but several nearby paid garages and lots along Broad Street offer accessible options within walking distance. Downtown CARTA’s shuttle services and local bus routes provide easy transit for guests staying near the central district. If you’re choosing a place to stay, you’ll be within a short stroll of multiple hotels including The Dwell Hotel, The Chattanoogan, The Read House, Chattanooga Marriott Downtown, Westin Chattanooga, and Staybridge Suites Downtown—each offering comfortable stays close to the theatre and dining options.

Upcoming events at the Tivoli are part of the broader Tivoli ecosystem, with the Chattanooga Symphony & Opera historically presenting performances here, alongside major Broadway shows and notable concerts (for example, Joe Bonamassa has graced the stage). As the venue continues its renovation to the Tivoli Performing Arts Center, expect a blend of beloved past programming and refreshed, modern-era performances. Date-to-be-announced and RESCHEDULED from historical dates will be clearly indicated on event pages, and we’ll help you secure your seats with reliable, friendly service.

We’ve got you covered for tickets and planning—whether you’re a longtime Tivoli follower or discovering this historic theatre for the first time. If you need help finding seats, checking availability, or locating nearby hotels and dining, just ask—we’ve got you.
