RED DOOR NO. 5
ABOUT THE VENUE
Red Door No. 5 is a remarkable venue space rooted in historic Tampa Heights, a hot spot for innovation, the arts, and exciting events. Fire Station No. 5 was originally constructed in 1952 and retired as an active fire station in 1986. The building has been passionately brought back to life as Red Door No. 5 by owner Dominique Martinez. The unique transformation of this 6500 square foot building boasts open spaces, a 2000 square foot gallery, rooftop deck, an open-air courtyard, and a bell tower with beautiful views of the city. Red Door No. 5 is more than just a venue, it is an artistic piece of history in Tampa that invites people to rethink the creative use of space. PASK Productions is excited to highlight the incredibly historical space and showcase the restored beauty of the old firehouse. The space allows guests to shift their consciousness and imagine all of the possibilities.
