Valley Forge Music Fair

The Valley Forge Music Fair was a circular theater building with approximately 2,900 seats located in Devon, Pennsylvania. Its distinctive round structure allowed for flexible stage configurations and hosting of diverse theatrical productions.

The venue opened in 1955 as a tent structure before being rebuilt as a permanent building in 1973. It operated for over four decades as an entertainment destination in the Philadelphia region until its closure in 1996.

The venue presented Broadway productions and touring shows that drew audiences from across the region seeking live theater entertainment. It served communities by bringing major performances to an accessible suburban location outside the urban center.

The location offered easy access and parking for visitors traveling from across the Philadelphia region. Its suburban position made it a convenient destination for audiences seeking theater without the challenges of urban venues.

The round building design was unusual for theaters of that era and created a closer connection between audience and stage. This architectural approach influenced the design of other entertainment venues that followed.
