Even so, it was quite a leap of faith to build a vaudeville\/movie palace in Lakeland in 1928. The population hovered at only 15,000 people and it was a rural community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">Learn more about the history of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ThePolkTheatre?__cft__%5b0%5d=AZV7NzvwbLf3HQDmOYJqyAfjgVr99gSVj-jNiQAhOJr1r_OTH_NBs8fQH_8daKGcbFS34zZr65bEQUsdm0uiHbmaOwb-7AGWXjO2BQqOJEUFnzlTF97u5dvoq9VopOANubDgcOMhdA2kQEFphyU3BbrNNJCjzwNSzg_6Y5pkhwnlV6x7JhmxVUCc4V7krNcQRDU&amp;__tn__=-%5dK-R\">The Polk Theatre<\/a> here: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polktheatre.org\/venue?fbclid=IwAR2MtFeylAqWSAACnY68aXfEcdEGSz9Be7aOKVwrpKKsTmyTpjpmMzUTPBM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.polktheatre.org\/venue<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Buy tickets to see Forever Elvis &#8217;73 at the historic venue! <\/strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/tickets.sunevents.com\/e\/elvis-polk\/tickets?fbclid=IwAR1Xa-a6L8odF7Iu2X_VtMSsZ2KJfFURiP3dNudJiZepqweI_X4rPE153pw\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/tickets.sunevents.com\/e\/elvis-polk\/tickets<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>March 10th at 7:00 pm<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n        \n        <div class=\"embedpress-gutenberg-wrapper source-provider-Youtube aligncenter ep-clear   ep-content-protection-disabled inline\" id=\"953e57da-7424-444e-bc19-25f6c3a819c9\" data-embed-type=\"Youtube \">\n            <div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper \">\n                <div id=\"ep-gutenberg-content-f96b60d77b1514baa5dc61d68fff55f7\" class=\"ep-gutenberg-content\">\n                    <div >\n                        <div class=\"ep-embed-content-wraper preset-default insta-grid ep-google-photos-carousel\"\n                            style=\"max-width:600px;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto\"                                                                                                                >\n\n                            <div class=\"ose-youtube ose-uid-a627c457471775eb57606952fcbcdc4e ose-embedpress-responsive\" style=\"width:600px; height:340px; max-height:340px; max-width:100%; display:inline-block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allowFullScreen=\"true\" title=\"Forever Elvis &#039;73 by Dwight Icenhower  Sun Events\" width=\"600\" height=\"340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zuH-zanNeXU?feature=oembed&#038;color=red&#038;rel=1&#038;controls=2&#038;start=true&#038;end=true&#038;fs=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;autoplay=0&#038;modestbranding=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; encrypted-media;accelerometer;autoplay;clipboard-write;gyroscope;picture-in-picture clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen title=\"Polk Theater &#8211; Forever Elvis &#8217;73 Concert Coming to Lakeland\"><\/iframe><\/div>                        <\/div>\n\n                                            <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    \n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sun Events is thrilled to be bringing our concerts back to Lakeland this season!
