Celebrate New Year’s Eve at the Palais Royale Dinner and Dance Party in South Bend. Again this year, the historic ballroom is sure to be the hottest spot in town. Enjoy a four-course fine dining experience, dancing and ring in the New Year on the ballroom dance floor under the grand chandelier.

Many of the band members have toured with top name musicians such as Stan Kenton, Les Elgart, Duke Ellington and others.
