Winter Dance Party
Surf Ballroom, Clear Lake, IA
![]()
Four nights of tribute concerts and dances at the Surf Ballroom, the National Historic Landmark where Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and The Big Bopper played their final show before the February 1959 plane crash remembered as The Day the Music Died. The ballroom has staged the party every winter since 1979, and touring rock and roll acts still fill its wooden dance floor. Musicians and fans travel from across the country for the anniversary weekend.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
