Dreamland Ballroom
The Friends of Dreamland is a non-profit group committed to bringing back the music, the history, and the party of the Dreamland Ballroom.
Built in 1916, this building was the cultural and economic hub of Little Rock’s vibrant African American community and is the last remaining original building on the 9th Street “Line.” Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the hall served as headquarters for the Arkansas Chapter of the National Knights and Daughters of the Tabor. The third-floor Dreamland Ballroom hosted many famous entertainers including Louis Armstrong, Ray Charles, Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Nat King Cole, and Ella Fitzgerald and Dizzy Gillespie.
Now the building is the headquarters and storefront of the business FlagandBanner.com.
