Crystal Centennial Celebration

Friday, January 27–Sunday, January 29 

With Rounders Song Workshops and "run-up" events beginning Tuesday, January 24

Join us as we celebrate a century of rich history at the intersection of 13th and Burnside! The Crystal Hotel celebrates its 100th birthday (and the Ballroom is quickly nearing its own century-mark), and so we dedicate this weekend to music, tastings, workshops and more! Hey – why not stay the night with us? We've got special overnight packages all set up at the Crystal Hotel; reserve your room today so you don't have to leave the party early!
