The Fate of The Fillmore


June 19, 2017

The Fillmore remains a longtime staple of Miami Beach, but it may soon become a relic if Miami Beach commissioners have their way. Plans have been in the works as far back as 2010 to turn the Fillmore into a hotel in an attempt to bring a greater amount of convention crowds to the barrier island. However, the city has been met with obstacles due to failing to receive at least sixty percent of the vote required to proceed.

As one of the busiest theaters in the Southeast, the Fillmore has a rich history which has seen famous names like “Ol’ Blue Eyes” Frank Sinatra, actor and comedian Mickey Rooney, and multitalented singer, dancer, and actress Eartha Kitt perform. The venue—which opened in 1957—also hosted a number classic shows such as Miss USA and Miss Universe, The Ed Sullivan Show, and The Jackie Gleason Show.

Despite its history and status as something of a cultural landmark, a group called the Blue Ribbon Committee spearheaded by Miami Beach Mayor Philip Levine is following through with its hotel plans. Its recommendations will be evaluated by city commissioners to determine a plan of action on how to get residents to agree. The Fillmore would not be entirely gone, however. There are plans to rebuild it on the western side of the Miami Beach Convention Center.
