After Dark: Swing the Night Away

Join us this Valentine's Day, Saturday, Feb. 14, for the return of our fan-favorite event, After Dark: Swing the Night Away!

The event takes place from 6-10 pm at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force™. Try your hand (or should we say feet) at swing dancing on the dance floor. Once again, you'll be cutting a rug to a live swing band! Enjoy the swingin' sounds of "'Victory Canteen,' A Tribute to the Glenn Miller Army Air Force Band, as performed by the Tom Daugherty Orchestra." It'll be swell, ladies and gents.

Folks will also get to see unique artifacts not normally on display, themed open aircraft, trivia with prizes, plus games, food, and cash bars.

Kiss your Valentine under the wings of history. No special someone this year? No problem. Enjoy a beverage with your favorite aircraft and friends. Event is for adults only, ages 21+.

Tickets are just $45 per person. Remember, your ticket purchase benefits the nonprofit Air Force Museum Foundation.
