About this Event
Party like it's 1953!
For this year's dance we honor our vets of the Korean War with a USO-style dance. Live music by Billy D and the Rock-its, food, dancing, and more. Period dress is encouraged. This is a fundraiser to support the mission of the Fort Devens Museum, a 501(c)(3) organization. Entertainment brought to you by the Greater Boston Vintage Society, including a costume contest, free dance lesson, and performance by the Boston Lindy Bomb Squad!
