About

LIBERTY OPRY

There’s no need to travel far! The Liberty Opry, the best kept secret of South East Texas, located at 1816 Sam Houston St., Liberty, Texas, provides GREAT live, musical, family-oriented entertainment at very affordable prices.

We strive to keep our shows and the entire environment family-oriented for everyone to enjoy. Bring your children and your grandparents for a fun evening of entertainment!

We offer a great variety of shows; ALL Gospel Shows, Country Shows, and 50′s, 60’s, 70’s – Classic Oldies or Old Time Rock & Roll Shows. We also have “Specialty Shows” which feature bigger named artists from around the country and we always have an annual Christmas Show with traditional, country and religious Christmas music.

Our shows take place in the historic Park Theater which was built in 1938 and operated as a movie theater for many years. Some of our customers have shared their childhood memories of attending movies at the Park Theater and cherish the fact that they can still come to the same theater for great entertainment. The theater was renovated in the early 2000′s, and during the 2020 Covid-19 pandemic & shut down, we took the opportunity to remodel, refresh and renew.

We hear from our customers, time and time again, of how “amazingly welcome” they feel at the Liberty Opry. You will feel the warm reception from the minute you walk in the door. We greet you with a smile and give you friendly assistance the entire evening. It is our utmost goal to make your experience at the Liberty Opry a pleasant and memorable one.

Originating in 1993, the Liberty Opry has always had exceptionally talented and professional musicians and vocalists. We understand the need for very affordable entertainment for families and people of all ages, so we strive to keep it just that. Come prepared for an afternoon of exceptional live entertainment, great music, and a laugh or two from comedian, “Booger Lee”. Come early and enjoy a snack or great dessert in our concession area - all delicious and priced just right!

GOOD MUSIC + GOOD COMPANY = GOOD TIME
