Lido Theater

Lido Theater is a performance hall in Medellín located near Park of Bolívar that seats about 1,100 people in its main auditorium. The venue hosts various artistic events and shows throughout the year for audiences of different tastes.

The building opened in 1945 following a design by Federico Vásquez on the spot where a billiard hall once stood. A major restoration between 2000 and 2007 brought the structure back to its current form.

This performance space brings together audiences for contemporary shows ranging from comedies to experimental productions. The regular programming reflects what matters to people in the city who seek live entertainment and artistic expression.

The venue is located near Park of Bolívar and within walking distance of several bus and tram stops serving the area. Visitors should check ahead about what is happening during their visit since the schedule changes by season.

The theater took its name from a billiard hall that once stood on the same spot, and locals still recognize it by that familiar name. This connection to the city's everyday leisure culture gives the place special meaning for people who grew up here.
