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

A true gypsy-swing ensemble inspired by Django Reinhardt and the Hot Club of France. Expect driving rhythm, sparkling melodies, and the unmistakable 1920s Parisian swing sound — perfect for a full Gatsby-themed night.

Each evening celebrates a different slice of vintage dance culture — from 1920s Gatsby sparkle to 1940s swing‑era elegance and 1950s Rockabilly sock‑hop energy. 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

A powerhouse 40s swing band featuring Cedric Blary on his Benny-Goodman-style clarinet. Smooth, classy, and full of vintage big-band energy — ideal for a night of elegant swing-era dancing.

SUNDAY — 1950s Rockabilly/Sock Hop
Night
Peter & The Wolves

Calgary’s own rockabilly swing powerhouse, bringing authentic ’50s rhythm, vintage flair, and serious dance-floor energy. Expect a wildly entertaining show and a high-energy finale to the festival weekend.
