About this Event
Celebrating 40 years of the Art Deco Preservation Ball!
The Art Deco Society of California invites you to an unforgettable evening of glamour, music, and vintage elegance at our 40th Art Deco Preservation Ball! This dazzling celebration brings the Roaring Twenties and the Swinging Thirties back to life in the stunning Paramount Theatre, one of the world’s most exquisite Art Deco landmarks.
This year, we pay tribute to the Centennial of the 1925 Paris Exposition des Arts Décoratifs—the birthplace of Art Deco style. Amid the grandeur of the Paramount’s breathtaking Grand Lobby, you’ll sip cocktails, enjoy a decadent array of desserts, and dance beneath the soaring fountain of light as we honor the recipients of the Art Deco Preservation Awards.
For One Night Only…
The Grand Lobby transforms into an elegant Ballroom, where Don Neely’s Royal Society Jazz Orchestra featuring Carla Normand will sweep you onto the dance floor with the irresistible rhythms of the 1920s, 30s, and 40s. Enjoy a dazzling lineup of entertainment, including:
- The Decobelles dance troupe
- The Nick Rossi Trio
- Sensational tap dancers Gregg and Katie
- Kevin King on The grand Mighty Wurlitzer theater organ,
- A Photo Portrait Studio by Memento Moda
- Vintage autos lining the streets for a grand arrival
