Straz Center

An event venue listed by Bandsintown in Tampa.

Plan your visit

The David A. Straz Center for the Performing Arts sits on the east bank of the Hillsborough River in downtown Tampa; its 290,000-square-foot complex contains four theaters. The Ticket Sales Office is listed as open Tuesday through Sunday, noon to 7 p.m., and 90 minutes before performances—office hours, not performance start times. Nearby parking includes the Poe Garage, connected to the Center by a covered pedestrian bridge, along with open lots and metered street spaces. The rental policies say the Center does not own or control parking and allow 15-minute free parking for patrons purchasing tickets at the Ticket Office.^[2][1]
