Discover the holiday charm of Cinnamon Grits in the South, where festive traditions and scenic winter settings come together for a memorable seasonal experience. Perfect for families and culture lovers alike.
Memories Ballroom is a dinner-theater venue located in Port Washington, Wisconsin. The business presents a curated lineup of live performances that pair seated dining with theatrical and musical entertainment. Shows range from tribute concerts and live bands to stage comedies, mysteries and seasonal musicals. Many events include an on-site dinner service — often featuring broasted chicken or buffet-style dining — and dessert during intermission.
The programming highlights include tribute acts such as a Rock n' Roll retrospective with The Neverly Brothers and seasonal specialty shows, plus scripted theatrical performances like "Remains to Be Seen," "Blithe Spirit," and "An Inspector Falls." Audiences can attend matinée or evening performances depending on the event; some concerts offer dance opportunities and music late into the evening. Memories Ballroom schedules a mix of single-artist shows (for example, Tim Walkoe or Patti Vasquez), family-oriented productions such as "Cinnamon Grits: Christmas in the South," and live band nights featuring acts like Paul Sucherman & the Dog House Big Band.
The venue provides a complete night-out experience by combining dining and entertainment in one location. Doors typically open prior to showtime to allow guests to arrive early, dine, and settle into the ballroom before performances begin. As a Port Washington theatrical venue, Memories Ballroom focuses on delivering accessible live entertainment and dining within a single, elegant setting.
