Lakeland sits between Tampa and Orlando, absorbing influences while cultivating its own voice. The Polk Theatre on Florida Avenue hosts concerts and Broadway productions. The RP Funding Center drew legends from Elvis to the Grateful Dead. Union Hall and Swan Brewing keep the indie and folk circuit alive near Munn Park. Hillcrest Coffee in the Dixieland district offers acoustic sets in a converted historic home. The 1977 Florida Sunfest proved this city could command a stage bigger than its size.
