Crystal Ballroom

Portland's 1914 Crystal Ballroom is famous for its spring-loaded floating dance floor, a physical feature that still shapes how crowds experience concerts in the ornate McMenamins venue.

The Crystal Ballroom is in downtown Portland's West End. MAX, streetcar, buses, rideshare and nearby garages are all practical; dedicated venue parking is limited.

A current official universal bag-size rule was not confidently located. Bring a small personal bag and check the event listing or contact the venue before leaving.

The floating ballroom floor is the thing people remember. Wear comfortable shoes and use downtown transit rather than planning the night around curb parking.
