Fairmont Opera House, Inc.

(this is a side by side video of what the Fairmont Opera House looked like before the scaffolding supports went in, and what it looks like today)

We stand at the most pivotal moment in our 125-year history.

Fairmont Opera House isn't merely a venue; it's essential to the lifeblood of our community. It has been a cherished beacon of culture, entertainment, and fellowship in our region for generations. However, the passage of time and wear have left their mark on this historic gem, and $4 million is urgently required for immediate repairs essential to safeguarding a legacy and propelling the future of our community forward.

We cannot embark on this journey alone. We need your financial support to turn this vision into a reality. Your contribution won't just fund essential repairs; it will breathe new life into Fairmont Opera House, ensuring it reopens as a place where all are welcome, countless memories are made, and the enduring magic of live performance continues to captivate hearts and minds

TOTAL REQUIRED FUNDS: $4 MILLION

Without the required funding by the end of 2025, The Fairmont Opera House will permanently close.

What does that pay for?

1. Repair: Repair the roof and its supporting structures to ensure the building is structurally sound.
2. Restore: Restore the facility’s historic interior to operational conditions.
3. Reopen: Restart programming within our newly repaired and restored facility to enrich the lives of future generations.
