MUST SEE INSIDE Amazingly detailed historic restoration venue for events of all types. Gloriously built in 1929, by mid-century was the Fox Granada theater and the interior was green-washed with pastel paint. My first job was selling movie tickets in the mid 1960s in the tiny booth. I earned 75¢/hr. I loved that job, but calculators hadn't been invented yet and I was fired because I couldn't correctly do the math required for the nightly report. In the 1990s our H.S. had a heartbreaking tour of the ruinous shambles it had become through abandonment, neglect and vandalism. Thanks to a group of citizens who rescued it from demolition and restored a gem in Emporia’s historic crown.

Great live music, and sometimes movies and plays, presented in this restored, historic theater.

The Granada is a gem in town. It hosts movies, shows, and is available for rent for weddings and events.
