The Dole
The Dole is a cultural destination hub located on the shores of beautiful Crystal Lake situated on 12-acres. Our charitable mission is to protect and preserve the historic property for community use. Proceeds from art, music and festival events benefit the historic property. We're home to an 1865 mansion and 1926 original Crystal Lake Country Club which are now home to art galleries, a professional culinary studio, over 40 creative business studios, and a speakeasy style music lounge.
Known for art exhibits, Lakeside Festival, Farmers Market+, Music Under the Trees concerts, live entertainment events, and community gatherings. When you attend events at The Dole, you're not only experiencing a day or night out you're giving back and supporting our mission. Good times for a good cause.
