Do you remember the great air raid of February 1942? Civilians and military personnel reports ranged from Japanese bombers to alien spacecraft attacking L.A. It’s still a mystery today.

As a fundraiser for the Fort MacArthur Museum, there will be a recreation of what that 1942 evening would have been like at a dance. Dean Mora and the Fort MacArthur Officers Orchestra will be playing while you dance the night away in period costumes, if you have them. Dress warmly and expect loud noises!
