Uptown Blanco Ballroom
and other venues

Our Home: Uptown Blanco Ballroom

The historic mirrored Uptown Blanco Ballroom is home to the Blanco Performing Arts concert series. The venue is located on the west side of the courthouse square in Blanco, Texas. Upstairs at the former Masonic Lodge the ballroom is now part of Uptown Blanco Arts & Entertainment. Built in the 19th century this building has worn many hats, but this one is certainly the most musical. Remodeled to be an event venue in the 2008/2009, the bright ballroom features a beautiful wall of mirrors which reflect both the musician's movements and the surrounding audience, giving everyone a sense of "theater in the round." If you're looking for something to do on a special evening in the hill country you've come to the right place!
Restored historic ballroom. Intimate chamber music. Great music up close.

The mission of the Blanco Performing Arts is to present world-class classical musicians and stellar performances to residents of Blanco, the Texas Hill Country and beyond; to enhance the awareness and enjoyment of the arts and enrich the total community; and to become a cultural and educational resource for all. As a non-profit BPA is able to bring music to our community because of the generosity of audience donations; because of grants from the Texas Commission on the Arts, and the Blanco Hotel Occupancy Tax; and because of the ongoing support of our sponsors.
