The Imperial Ballroom
The Imperial Ballroom is situated in downtown Fullerton. Built in 1927 as an Oddfellows Hall, the structure was promptly put into use as a speakeasy. The Ballroom was sold in the 1940's and not used again until 2001, when renovations began to modernize the building for its current use as a banquet venue and ballroom dance studio.

The Facility is divided into four areas for banquet and dancing use. Each room is named for historical individuals responsible for helping develop the area and city of Fullerton. The Imperial Ballroom is housed in a Nationally Registered Historic building. All of the renovations and upgrades have been done, keeping the elegance of days gone by as a focal point for its use as a meeting place.
