Paramount Center for the Arts

Bristol's grand 1931 theater, alive with performance

Loading weather…

The Paramount Center for the Arts is a stunning 765-seat theater in the heart of downtown Bristol, lovingly restored to its 1931 Art Deco glory. Originally built as a movie palace during the golden age of cinema, the Paramount now hosts live music, theater, comedy, film screenings, and community events. The ornate interior, with its gilded details, sweeping balcony, and atmospheric ceiling, is worth the price of admission alone. Check the calendar for everything from nationally touring musicians to local theater productions.
