MST receives funding for 4th season of Night at the Ritz

Main Street Toccoa has announced that it is the recipient of funding from the Georgia Council for the Arts.

According to Main Street Manager Christian Hamilton, Main Street Toccoa has received Fiscal Year 2021 grant funding to fund Season Four of the regionally-renowned Night at the Ritz event series.

He says this is the fourth year in a row that Georgia Council for the Arts has funded this event series.

This grant allows Main Street Toccoa to charge ticket prices at below-cost, allowing residents of Northeast Georgia to experience the arts at a reasonable price.

Hamilton says Main Street Toccoa is thankful for the community’s continued support of the Historic Ritz Theatre.

In Fiscal Year 2020, Night at the Ritz was able to bring thirteen different shows to the Historic Ritz Theatre, which brought over 3,000 individuals to Downtown Toccoa.

The Night at the Ritz event series has seen an increase in attendance every year since it began.
