History
Bringing The Hits Since 1926
Originally opening its doors in July 1926, the Byline Bank Aragon Ballroom has had past lives as a dance hall, a roller skating rink, a boxing venue, and a discotèque. Our ballroom has been bringing the magic of live entertainment to Chicago's Uptown neighborhood for nearly 100 years. Travel back in time with some snapshots of our building's history below.
