OUR story

The Granada Theater, established in 1946, is an independently owned and operated Dallas Landmark in the Lower Greenville neighborhood.  Over the decades the Granada has seen it all from Gone With The Wind and fifty cent matinees, to Willie Nelson and Adele, to timeless weddings and company gatherings. The Granada mixes a classic Art Deco style with modern amenities. 

As of 2024, our team has produced over 3,500 private events and concerts. The theater was renovated in 2020 and the original paint colors were restored to highlight the 75-year-old hand-painted murals, ornate Art-Deco designs, and original details.  The Granada continues to provide a truly unique backdrop for any private event.  We are here to take your vision and create a once in a lifetime experience that helps define Granada in the future and makes you part of our story.

TestImonials

“Everyone at the Granada amazed us with how seamlessly everything came together! Thanks to their help, our wedding was easy to plan, fun, and beautifully decorated. Since it’s a stunning historic concert venue, the permanent decor, lighting, sound system, and overall production were absolutely perfect. It was the most incredible experience we—and our guests—have ever had at a wedding!”

“Granada Theater was an absolute pleasure to work with for my film premiere! Granada offers competitive pricing, professional staff, and a beautiful theater. Their staff made my two-day event enjoyable for all guests. I would recommend Granada for anyone looking to host an event at a legendary venue in Dallas.”
