The Riviera

The Riviera is a brick dance hall built in the early 20th century along Lake Geneva's shore, displaying the architectural characteristics of that era. The structure contains multiple function rooms and a ballroom, with direct access to the waterfront and boat docking facilities.

The Riviera was constructed in the early 1900s as a social venue and played an important role in Lake Geneva's development. Its historical significance resulted in listing on the National Register of Historic Places and the Wisconsin State Register.

The building has long served as a gathering place where the community comes together for concerts, weddings, and social events. It remains central to local celebrations and public occasions in the town's social life.

The Riviera sits right along the water's edge with convenient parking in the nearby municipal lot. The waterfront location makes it easy to arrive by car or to explore the shoreline on foot before or after visiting.

The building once thrived as a dance hall where people from across the region came to enjoy music and celebration. Its waterfront setting and boat docks created a unique blend of land and water access that set it apart from inland venues.
