In its second year, this “USO styled event” celebrates the cultural heritage of a bygone era of Big Band Music, Swing Dance and Live Entertainment for Armed Forces.

​

The Red White and You Dance is held the Saturday after Independence Day, and is combined with a weekend of celebratory activities in Bastrop, Texas. 

 

Live music entertainment by The Tony Harrison Band, is a crowd pleaser with it’s nine piece “Big Band” sound and carefully chosen period music spanning the decades.

 

Hosted by the Bastrop Convention & Exhibit Center, in a military themed atmosphere, attendees are encouraged to dress in period Swing Dance attire to add to the fun.

 

The evening will include Swing Dance Lessons, a Vintage Dress Contest, On-Site Concessions, and 3 hours of live music to fill the dance floor!

 

Come early to eat American Flare, with Doors opening at 5:30pm.  Professional Dancers will be on-hand to help teach you dance moves, starting at 6:15pm.  Live Music by The Tony Harrison Band kicks off at 7:00pm and goes until 10:00pm.

 

The 2019 Red White and You Dance promises a fun filled night in historical Downtown Bastrop!
