Each night celebrates a different vintage era. Dressing up is encouraged and adds to the magic.
FRIDAY — 1920s Gatsby Night
Le Hot Club de Millionaires

Dress up, dive in, and enjoy a full weekend of live music, competitions, performances, and social dancing. Every night brings a new vibe, a new band, and a new reason to be on the floor.
SATURDAY — 1940s Swing Era Night
Cedric Blary & The Monsters of Swing
