The Lincoln area was home to over six ballrooms. Unfortunately, all except the Pla Mor have been 

lost, like a trend seen throughout the country. 

For over 70 years, the Pla Mor Ballroom has entertained Lincoln and the surrounding communities 

with a wide variety of events.  The Ballroom opened its doors December 23, 1929 and since has hosted 

many big band legends such as Count Basie, Lawrence Welk and many others.  

The Pla Mor Ballroom currently has a wide variety of Big Bands playing on a  regular basis. Some talents that have graced our stage includes: Tommy Dorsey, Glenn Miller, Russ Morgan Orchestra and The Bobby Layne Orchestra (home base at Pla Mor for over 25 years).
