Third Annual Holiday Heritage Swing
Dance on Nov. 4
The public is invited to Remember the
Railroad for the third annual Holiday Heritage Swing Dance on Friday, Nov. 4,
from 6 – 9 p.m. at Freighthouse Square (2501 E. D St., Rainier Room).
The event will feature the Pierce County
Community Big Band, a swing dance demonstration by Studio 6 Ballroom, free
refreshments and a no-host bar will also be available. This historic
preservation fundraiser is commemorating Tacoma’s railroad history and the
Prairie Line Trail. Attendees are encouraged to come dressed in period costume.
“This is our last big event for our 2016
program which was Secret Tacoma: Tacoma’s Surprising History,” said Historic
Preservation Coordinator Lauren Hoogkamer. “We look forward to exploring a new
aspect of Tacoma’s history in 2017—we have big things planned.”
This event is free and open to the
public, with a suggested donation for entry that will go to support heritage
programming and events in 2017. Visit cityoftacoma.org/HPEvents for more
information or contact Hoogkamer at lhoogkamer@cityoftacoma.org or call (253)
