Lakeland Center

Description:

• There's no dearth of events at this popular venue about 30 miles off the city of Tampa. Come to experience the beauty of the arts through symphonies, ballet, classical and contemporary performances, opera, Broadway shows and musicals. Car-crazy guys can head over for shows on their favorite toys, while sport fans can catch some of the action here. Business conferences are held in Sikes Convention Hall, while theatrical hijinks bring down the Jenkins Arena and the posh Youkey Theatre. A grand ballroom caters to flamboyant parties and a plethora of amenities, including 2,500 parking spaces and the 128-suite on-site hotel for guests, make it a hot venue for visiting artists. The hearing-impaired can benefit from the infrared audio enhancement system, free earphones and receivers are available. Check their website for a calendar of events and ticketing information.
