The Music Hall at Fair Park in Dallas celebrated its 100th anniversary on October 10, 2025, marking a century of cultural and artistic significance in the community.

Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson and City Councilman Adam Bazaldua issued a proclamation honoring the milestone, with community members sharing over 100 personal stories about its impact.
In celebration of the anniversary, the district-wide STEAM education program expanded to include more performances and curriculum focused on Broadway musicals like THE WIZ, involving Dallas ISD and county-wide students.
The Broadway Dallas High School Musical Theatre Awards will expand to 100 productions this year, recognizing talented student performers and awarding over $65,000 in scholarships, reflecting the hall’s milestone.
A collaboration between Community Beer Co. and Broadway Dallas launched a limited-edition commemorative beer can to celebrate the venue’s centennial.
A special event featuring Maria Callas in Concert: The Hologram Tour was held on October 31, paying homage to the hall’s history of hosting renowned opera performances.
The 2026 Broadway Dallas Gala will celebrate both the Music Hall’s centennial and the 100th anniversary of The Great Gatsby, with proceeds supporting arts education programs for over 60,000 local children and families.
