OUR STORY

SINCE 1999

IT STARTED
WITH A FORTRESS.

Diamond Rock City Entertainment began in 1999 on a Baltic Sea fortress. A gathering of 1,000 people on a $30,000 budget grew into FortDance: 35,000 guests, Tiësto on stage and event budgets above $1 million. The same production experience now goes into private events in Miami and worldwide.
