The Cotillion is a special events facility that hosts concerts, dances, comedians, and stage shows featuring nationally known artists and performers. This special events facility is available to rent for concerts, dances, banquets, corporate events, wedding receptions, trade shows, and private parties. Built in 1960, The Cotillion is a 28,500 square foot building with a maximum concert capacity of
2000 persons. The unique circular design of the building has large wooden beams supporting a 24 foot high domed ceiling over an 11,000 square foot floating hardwood maple dance floor and a stage that features a distinctive neon lit band shell. Wichita’s “Round Mound of Sound” opened in 1960, attracting the most historically important American musicians such as Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, the Everly Brothers, Willie Nelson, Muddy Waters and B.B. Throughout the years Wichita’s favorite ballroom has put on shows of all varieties, and currently books everything from comedy to country and metal.
