After the recent grand opening of the Music Experience Center in Clear Lake, the Surf Ballroom is gearing up for its annual Winter Dance Party. This year’s party heats up next weekend, Jan. 29 through Feb. 1, when you can jump into a few concerts, dance and costume contests and, of course, a whole lotta rock ‘n’ roll.

While you’re there, be sure to explore downtown Clear Lake, where you can find lots of spots for a bite to eat and a hot or cold drink.
