Holiday Hangar Dance

We heard you! Building on the success of last year's Holiday Jazz Concert, we will be adding room for dancing, bringing the event back as our first Holiday Hangar Dance!

We are keeping the intimate vibe of a Jazz club nestled among the airplanes in our hangar, with a selection of swing songs and Christmas standards in the performance from Jay Brown and his Grace Street Seven Quartet.

Doors Open at 5pm, We Strike Up the Band at 5:30pm

As part of this experience, guests of all ages are welcome to dress in their holiday best, or in their finest period clothing, for this holiday spin on a traditional hangar dance.

The event will feature a range of holiday snacks to purchase, a full hot chocolate bar, as well as a cash bar selling winter time cocktails.

This event is free for Museum Members, who will have access to Three Dots and a Dash, a Members Only Speakeasy Experience which will open at 4pm, one hour before the doors open for the concert. Members will also have access to members only seating on the balcony on a first-come first served basis.

Grace Street Seven Quartet

Regularly a fixture of our summer time Luau and Hangar Dance, Grace Street Seven will be joining us for this concert style performance with a more intimate feeling. Let them transport you to the Jazz Clubs of old with a carefully curated selection of music, and an enrapturing performance from Double Bass, Piano, and of course, Tenor Saxophone.
