Break out the top hats and flapper dresses: the 20s come roaring to life at the National Constitution Center this Thursday night, October 18, as the center ushers in its brand new American Spirits exhibition with a Bootlegger’s Ball.

Get jazzed for this swinging speakeasy in the National Constitution Center’s Grand Hall, complete with Jazz Age music, Lindy Hop and Charleston lessons, tasty whiskey cocktails and authentic era cuisine.

The National Constitution Center is notorious for its festive exhibition fetes, and this one is sure to maintain that standard.

Admission to the ball is $35 for museum members and $40 for non-members (ages 21+) and includes advanced access to American Spirits: The Rise and Fall of Prohibition before it makes its world debut.
