Columbia Convention and Visitors Bureau

The Missouri Theatre is mid-Missouri’s only pre-Depression era movie palace/vaudeville stage and is on the National Register of Historic Places. Built in 1928, the theatre’s interior is an ornate baroque and rococo style of the Louis XIV and XV periods. Designed by the Boller Brothers Architects of Kansas City, the theatre is modeled after the Paris Opera House. Much of the original detailing survives, including the Belgian marble wainscoting, plaster reliefs, stained glass art panels under the balcony, and an 1,800-pound Italian chandelier featuring crystal prisms and etched panels.

As mid-Missouri’s premier destination for fun, we are proud to offer something for everyone! Known to mid-Missouri for years as either Perche Creek or Midway Golf Complex, our complex has undergone a complete facelift since 2018. Whether you’re looking for an activity with family or friends, a venue for corporate events or group gatherings, Midway has what Columbia, and the surrounding communities need for entertainment.

The District is the perfect place for visitors to explore! You’ll find locally owned shops and restaurants, along with art galleries, public art, bars, concert venues, and more. The District is bound by three colleges and encompasses 50 square blocks, more than 300 individual properties, over 300 residences, and over 600 businesses, non-profits and government entities.
