Rialto Theater

About the Rialto Theater

The Historic Rialto Theater, built in 1923, has been a cornerstone of Florence's cultural heritage. Originally an opera house, it transitioned to a cinema before closing its doors in 1969. In 1992, a dedicated group of local residents established the Florence Architectural and Cultural Traditions (F.A.C.T.) organization with a mission to restore this beloved venue. Over the years, F.A.C.T. has raised over $1.3 million and dedicated 40,000 volunteer hours to restore the theater, ensuring it meets modern standards while preserving its historical charm. The Rialto Theater reopened in 2016, serving as a vibrant hub for live performances and community events in Southern Colorado and the Royal Gorge region.
