Ball Night
Celebrate the restoration of this 1930s Washington
landmark and enjoy an evening of dancing to the world's greatest swing dance
music, dreamy romantic fare from the 1930s-1940s, and Latin rumbas and tangos
performed by Peaches O'Dell and Her
Orchestra.
Take a romantic stroll through the lush tropical gardens. Sit and linger in the moonlight. Snack on the gourmet hors d'oevers. Pause for a drink at the open bar in a desert oasis.
Black tie or white tie: Deco and Vintage attire is encouraged. Zoot suits are welcome.
