Join the Kankakee County Historical Society as we “dance through the decades” and boogie into the new year! Attendees will go back in time to the year 1948 when South Pacific was selling out shows on Broadway and Polaroid cameras filled the shelves of major stores! The opening act for the evening is the Jazz Time Big Band, boasting of 17 musicians, steering the crowd toward the ‘80s. Closing the year and leading us into 2024 is Katzpa Jammas! Brush up on your dance moves, dress for your favorite decade (there will be prizes for the “Best Dressed” guests) and prepare for a night of fun! You won’t want to miss this exciting and unique experience.
