The USS Hornet Museum is located at 707 W Hornet Ave, Pier 3 in Alameda. Doors open at 7 p.m. with free dance lessons. The Glenn Miller Orchestra will play from 8 p.m. to midnight with dancing on three large dance floors on the enclosed hangar deck. The Singing Blue Stars will perform a tribute to the Andrews Sisters during intermission. Period attire is encouraged. Cabaret Reserved seating--premium reserved tables by the dance floor with a great view in front of the stage--are $95 per person. Reserved seating near the dance floor is $68 per person. General admission is $45 per person. If the event is not sold out, general admission tickets will be available at the door for $50 per person.

Voted as the best place to hear and dance to swing music by Diablo Magazine, the USS Hornet Museum is the hottest dance place in the Bay Area and attracts “swing-era” crowds in excess of 1,200 people.
