Cobblestone Ballroom & Event Center

The historic Cobblestone Ballroom and Event Center is located in Lakeside, Iowa near the shores of Storm Lake. The original Cobblestone Inn was built in 1929 and in 1945 a fire destroyed everything but the ballroom and a few exterior rock walls. If you look above the North end of the ballroom you can still see the charred wood from that fire. The stage played host to Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Lawrence Welk, Jerry Lee Lewis, The Beach Boys and many other memorable acts! The Cobblestone closed its doors in November of 1986 with hopes of one day reopening. Tables, chairs, posters, memorabilia, kitchenware and many other items remained inside preserved and nearly intact. Those doors finally reopened in November of 2023 after being locked for 37 years! Memories from past generations continue to be shared and we envision that for future generations yet to come. Join us at the Cobblestone for live music, entertainment, weddings, banquets & more!
