We are thrilled to announce that this summer we will be featuring the National Tuskegee Airmen traveling exhibit: Rise Above, Red Tail!
This incredible exhibit, by the Commemorative Air Force, is honoring the history and legacy of America’s first black military pilots and their support personnel, including a P51 Mustang, one of the planes the Tuskegee Airmen flew in WWII! The exhibit “is on a mission to educate people of all ages about these important American icons so their strength of character and ability to triumph over adversity may serve as a means to inspire others to rise above obstacles in their own lives and achieve their goals.”

Other fun happenings at the Ball
Swing dancers will heat up the dance floor under a canopy of movie set lights while cigarette girls hand out rations. Attendees will have the opportunity to have their photos taken with WWII planes and military vehicles, stop by the Tango Tango club tent or the “Cantina” tent, enter the 1940’s costume contest and dance the night away in a Conga Line! And to top the night off in grand style we’ll announce the end of the war with an authentic 1940’s radio announcement complete with a confetti drop and celebration!
The best part? You’ll be celebrating this cherished era for a great cause! The 1940s Ball donates a portion of ticket sales to non-profits close to our hearts. We’re proud to have donated over $106,000 to our charities.”
Come enjoy Boulder Airport’s breath-taking summer beauty with good friends, good music and good dancing!
