The Tower Theater is a restored Art Deco cinema in the heart of Little Havana, originally opened in 1926. After a period of decline, it was revitalized as a nonprofit cultural center that screens independent and foreign films, hosts the Miami International Film Festival, and presents live performances. The theater retains its vintage marquee and ornate interior, offering an intimate setting for about 400 guests. Visitors can catch a thought-provoking film, attend a Q&A with directors, or simply admire the historic architecture and neighborhood vibe.
