Get decked out in your best evening frock or dinner jacket, gussy up that uniform or swing dress, or break out those zoot and victory suits and “Cruise to the 1940’s” with Key West Art & Historical Society’s annual “Back In Time” fundraiser for the Custom House Museum, the island’s architectural crown jewel located on 281 Front Street. The Wednesday, December 5 event begins with celebratory 5:00pm cocktails on the veranda of the Custom House followed by an elegant evening aboard the SS KWAHS from 6:30pm – 10:00pm, as the Margaritaville Resort and Marina’s Grand Ballroom is transformed into an unsinkable luxury cruise liner.

Attendees can enjoy a divine dinner, swing dancing and music by Southernmost Brass Band, a really swell silent auction, prizes for the best dressed, and presentation of this year’s Scotti Merrill Preservation Award while also helping support the 127-year-old Custom House building’s ongoing preservation needs. For more information, visit KWAHS.ORG or contact Dani Holliday at 305.295.6616 x 114.

Your Museums. Your Community. It takes an Island.
