Hello, 1940s Ball Family and Friends, The 1940s Ball team hopes that you’ve all been keeping well during this unusual and challenging year -- we are counting the days until we can dance with you again in person! The next Ball will be our best yet, and well worth the wait! For now, let's get together virtually on December 5th for our Virtual 1940s White Christmas Ball (free event)! Check out the Virtual Christmas Ball full schedule below and JOIN US to go back in time to the delightful days of post-war Christmas celebrations! Together, we will make vintage Christmas ornaments, take a swing dance lesson, get dolled up in 1940s holiday glam, mix up a vintage-themed cocktail, watch the incredible 1940s main stage performances and bands, dance, and connect as a community. Oh, and did we mention, you can ENTER OUR BEST DRESSED CONTEST FOR A CHANCE TO WIN tickets to the BIG 2021 return! So make sure to plan out your outfit, check out our vintage menus below, and get ready to celebrate the holidays, 1940s and 50s style!
