The Big Band Bash is the Alaska Aviation Museum’s community-oriented gala. The event is aimed towards bringing the magic of Golden Age Aviation to Anchorage. Modern aviation in Alaska can trace its roots to the mid-twentieth century: the age of swing music and big bands, streamlined and chrome-laden automobiles, and glitzy propeller-driven airliners.
Attendees are transported back eighty years, with a night of live music, photo opportunities with vintage vehicles, and a costume contest. This event also features a delicious dinner, silent and live auction, and dancing.
