The Historic Ritz Theatre in Downtown Toccoa has received its third Fox Gives Grant, marking another important investment in the preservation and continued use of this beloved community landmark.
Representatives from the City of Toccoa, Main Street Toccoa, and Friends of the Ritz recently visited the Fox Theatre in Atlanta to accept the $65,000 award. The grant, matched by the City of Toccoa, supported the full replacement of the theatre’s lower-level seating.
In addition to the seating improvements, Friends of the Ritz donated new stage and house lighting, further enhancing the theatre experience for patrons and performers alike. Together, these upgrades reflect a strong local commitment to preserving the Historic Ritz Theatre while ensuring it remains an active and welcoming space for arts, culture, and community events.
Georgia Main Street congratulates the City of Toccoa, Main Street Toccoa, and Friends of the Ritz on this exciting achievement and thanks the Fox Theatre Foundation for its continued investment in historic theatres across Georgia.
