All 2010 dates for the Spanish Ballroom and Bumper Car Pavilion will be frozen beginning July 6, 2009, as the 2010 Social Dance RFP is in progress. During this time, interested renters may be added to a wait list for select dates but no confirmations or guarantees will be given until the freeze has been lifted on September 30, 2009.
The beautifully restored 1933 Mediterranean style Art Deco building, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, is a formal and glamorous venue for wedding receptions, large corporate gatherings, private dance parties, bar/bat mitzvahs, and school events. The Spanish Ballroom is available to rent throughout the year, but as the Ballroom is neither heated nor air conditioned, peak rental times are from April through June and September through October.
The Bumper Car Pavilion was built in 1923 during the amusement park era of Glen Echo Park. This versatile facility offers great views of the Park and is a unique setting for small to medium-sized wedding receptions, bar/bat mitzvahs, and corporate events. The Bumper Car Pavilion is available to rent throughout the year, but as the Pavilion is neither heated nor air conditioned, peak rental times are from April through June and September through October.
The rebuilt Art Deco building offers a convenient and functional setting for children's birthday parties, small gatherings, corporate meetings and luncheons.
