WWII Swing Dance & Commemorative Event - 29 JUNE 2024

If you are a member of the press or a professional photographer interested in photographing the event, I've got FREE tickets!

Freelance photographers: Feel free to attend, snap photos, and hand out your business card so participants can purchase directly from your website. 

I love supporting other small businesses, and this is one way I can do it!

Based in the Research Triangle area of Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill, this 9-11 piece horn-driven group plays a variety of musical styles, including Pop, Rock, Funk, Motown, Jazz, Big Band, and Carolina Beach Music. 

Of course, they'll be playing JUST 1930s and 1940s for us!

Join us at the Drunken Monkey Bar for an unforgettable evening with award-winning entertainer Dixie Denier!

Immerse yourself in the South Pacific Shore Leave vibe as Dixie performs all night, including a special 1940s-style PG-13 Burlesque Show.

Don’t miss out on this one-of-a-kind experience!

Roland's Dance Studio will be providing brief dance lessons during the VIP hour and a live performance of Christina Aguilera's "Candyman" during the main event.

Roland's also provides Swing and Jitterbug lessons in their Fayetteville studio.  Check out their schedule below!

 We are thrilled to have Anthony Liotta of WLVN Radio LIVE BROADCASTING in the Casablanca Cafe!

 Though the 1940s are long past, WLVN 1940s Radio continues to honor the era’s traditions. During global upheaval, radio was vital in keeping Americans informed, delivering breaking news and heartwarming stories that connected the home front to the world stage. 

We've got a great Uber and Lyft system in Fayetteville so don't hesitate to get that app on your phone and use it while in town.  Check both because from time to time one is definitely better than the other as far as rate.

RDU makes flying into NC quick and easy.  Southwest Airlines has a hub and is a great option.

Just note that it is about an hour drive from RDU to  Fayetteville (pretty much a straight shot south on I95).

Fayetteville has a pretty good little airport right in town (thanks to the military), and you may find that getting a direct flight is just as cheap (and much faster) than dealing with rental cars and long drives from RDU.  

We also have an Amtrak right in the Historic Downtown!  The hours might be a little wonky, but you can get some good rates if you're not coming from all the way across the country - or maybe you want to make a trip out of it!

All purchases are final & tickets are non-refundable.  

I understand things come up.  If you find you cannot make the event, please reach out to me, and I will help link you up with someone looking for tickets. 

Please do NOT try to sell or purchase tickets via Facebook or Instagram, as there are a lot of scammers out there using those platforms.

This is an Allied and Civilian Event ONLY.

We ask that you leave your Nazi (and other Axis forces) Uniforms, Emblems, Symbols or references at home for this event.
