Constructed in 1924, The St. Petersburg Coliseum was originally designed as a ballroom facility to enhance the city’s tourism. It is located just north of the Shuffleboard and Lawn Bowling Club, both contributing as complementary assets of the Mirror Lake Park Recreational Complex. [1]
The Coliseum became a major southern destination for well-known entertainers and musicians during early 1900s. Many of the “Big Band” era orchestras performed there, including Count Basie, Les Brown, Jimmy Dorsey, Duke, Ellington, Benny Goodman, Guy Lombardo, and Glenn Miller [2]. It also became the gathering place for many community functions such as the Exchange Club, St. Petersburg Debutante Balls, St. Petersburg High School Alumni Dances, the Policemen’s Balls, and the Festival of States Coronation Balls. Displaying both deep-rooted history and some might even say freakish adaptability, St. Pete’s B-room has proven itself by persisting as an event venue all the way from the ancient pre-television era to the WOE 2025 Cataclysm.
Right in the heart of St. Pete’s Nationally Recognized Historic Downtown District is the South’s finest ballroom and convention hall. View photos and learn about why The Coliseum has been standing strong for over 100 years here.
