Northwest Florida Ballet stages its 47th annual Nutcracker at the Mattie Kelly Arts Center, with more than 140 performers and over 100 local children in the cast. The Northwest Florida Symphony Orchestra plays Tchaikovsky's score live at every public performance. The Friday night show runs about two hours, and the venue calls the production suitable for all ages.
Before you go
- Buy tickets through the Mattie Kelly Arts Center event page or call the box office at 850-729-6000
- Plan to arrive early enough to park and find your seat before the 7:30 PM curtain
- Dress up if you like, since this is a holiday tradition for many local families
What we checked, and when
Read off the venue's own page on 2026-10-28.
The Mattie Kelly event page sends buyers to its ticket office and prints no price, so the ticket price is not listed here.
Not confirmed: The price. The venue publishes none, so neither do we.
Other Nutcracker performances may run on nearby dates, so check the venue page for the one you want.
