Newport Beach Historical Society is hosting a dinner and swing dance at the historic Balboa Pavilion to celebrate the City of Newport Beach’s 120th year of incorporation. The celebration will take place on Aug 27 from 6 to 11 p.m. at the Harborside Restaurant and Grand Ballroom, 400 Main St., in the Balboa Fun Zone.
The event features Atomic Ballroom and Jonathan Stout and His Campus Five who recently secured a Guinness World Record for World’s Largest Swing Dance.
There will also be a dinner performance by the 1930s Balboa Shuffle Dancers, inspired by the Balboa dance era and Newport Beach’s historic swing culture, along with a Balboa dance lesson and a performance by the Newport Beach 1920s Bathing Beauties, inspired by early seaside glamour and vintage chorus girl style.
Doors open at 5:30 p.m. Dinner and dance tickets are $65 for members and $80 for non-members. Dance-only tickets are $25. Seating is first-come, first-served.
