The Fox Theatre opened its doors on Sept. 21, 1928, and continues to be one of the most iconic theaters and music venues in the world. The venue was declared a National Historical Landmark in 1989 following a $12 million restoration project by the Ilitch family, who purchased the Fox Theatre in 1987. To this day, Detroit’s crown jewel provides generations of Detroiters countless memories as one of the most elegant theaters in the world while displaying its versatility in hosting hundreds of events per year. The seating capacity is 4,831, and the stage is 130 feet long wall-to-wall.
