The
Legendary Blue HorizonTM
The Legendary Blue HorizonTM on the Avenue of the Arts at
North Broad Street and Thompson Avenue, was built in 1865 as three individual
houses in the Second Empire style. It was expanded in 1914 to include
an auditorium, ballroom and supper club by the Loyal Order of Moose.
Today, The Legendary Blue HorizonTM is the home of NIA KUUMBA, the non-profit
organization charged with renovating the building and providing social
services to the North Philadelphia community surrounding it.
The Legendary Blue HorizonTM provides space for professional
and amateur boxing events, community meetings, weddings, receptions, cabarets,
concerts, plays, movies, commercials, fashion and talent shows. It is
the Number One Boxing Venue in the World, the last boxing venue of its
kind in the United States and was the site of the filming of the movie,
"Rocky V." This venue is also the headquarters for the Blue
Horizon Boxing Promotions, Inc.
