ABOUT
The Crystal Ballroom enjoys national recognition for a reason. This elegant ballroom has been a premier place to hear live music, dance, and create memorable experiences for more than 100 years. The hall has seen countless first loves unfold, police raids, visits by silent-screen idols and Beat poets, psychedelic light shows, narrow escapes from fire, demolition, and has gained a listing in the National Register of Historic Places. This info is from www.crystalballroompdx.com/crystal-ballroom-history/
Famous Past Performers // Jimi Hendrix, Tina Turner, The Grateful Dead, Billy Idol, and it’s a really long list…
Recent Shows // Portugal. The Man, Chappell Roan, Trixie Mattel, Noah Kahan, Charli XCX, Sinead O’Connor, and Sabrina Carpenter.

The space is 7,500 square feet, with a classic corner stage, floor-to-ceiling windows, a swooping balcony, and full bar service.
We will open the beautiful, private mezzanine, offering an upscale lounge setting. It offers seating, but the view from below is much better. Our event will overflow into a an artist gallery to browse and meet the artists while enjoying the pre-show party.
Our audience can seat up to 400 guests who will line the runway. Just like live theater, the audience will have a real-time view as stage crew flips the set between each collection and become part of the story. Each designer will have a unique set display that embellishes their collection’s story, message, and muses.
