You're Invited!
Be a Part of History


Join us Thursday, December 3 for The 5th Avenue Theatre Marquee Event!


Come to the Theatre for holiday fun, music, special guests and treats as we welcome the newest addition to Seattle’s bright lights, the Theatre’s vertical marquee!


The event begins at 6:30 with music from The Blue 4 Trio, continues with the dedication at 7:00, and then at 7:15 we throw the switch and light up our sign.
