Celebrate World War II Victory Day at one of Philadelphia’s greatest historical attractions.

The Battleship New Jersey is hosting a WWII Victory Day Dance and Barbecue on Saturday, August 11 to celebrate this momentous occasion in both national and global history.

The festivities will get underway starting at 6 p.m. on the fantail of the ship. Enjoy barbecue straight from the grill, a cash bar, live WWII-era music performed by the Patriot Brass Ensemble, swing dancing and much more.

Tickets are $30 per person and can be purchased by calling 1 (866) 877-6262 using the extension 107.

You can also tour the battleship in the afternoon and then enjoy the Dance and BBQ later in the evening. The tour and dinner/dance combo ticket costs only $42 per person.

Meet Jason Hall, the curator of the Battleship New Jersey here.
