Crystal Ballroom - historic floating dance floor and concert venue

The Crystal Ballroom opened in 1914 and is renowned for its sprung or "floating" dance floor, a feature that has been preserved and credited with giving the venue a distinctive dance experience. Located on West Burnside, the room has hosted generations of touring and local acts across genres including early big band performances, punk and indie rock shows. The building is a well-documented landmark in Portland's live-music history and continues to operate as a concert venue under current owners who restored its historic interior.
