Electro Vaudeville Festival April 12 & 13

Welcome to the Electro Vaudeville Fest! A place where classy lasses and scruffy scoundrels alike come to enjoy a hoppin’, swingin’ good time on their feet. Come jive to the vintage tunes and fresh modern beats of electro swing, jazz and blues performed by bands from across Europe and North America and let your heart lead you on a journey through time. But beware: you are certain to meet some exciting folks along the way! Burlesque and boylesque performers tantalize on-lookers. Gentlemen, take off your hats for the jaw dropping performances of acrobats. Give a holler for the cabaret performers, and a nod waaay up to the stilt-walkers. Electro Swing is a new dance music sensation that has been quickly gaining momentum at a select few events this year. Old-school swing and jazz songs are revamped and revisited, wrapped up in sick modern beats and sultry bass lines. Past meets future in an exciting and unique way that’s sure to get your feet moving. Our event welcomes one and all, ordinary and extraordinary. Only here can you meet a Victorian dandy, a 50's style swing dancer and a dreaded belly dancer dancing together to the sweet rhythms of electro. Dress up in your favorite Retro/Swing/Circus/SteamPunk/Victorian era influenced attire! Online sale is closed now, tickets available at the door.
