Gala Swing Dance Afterparty at Glen Echo Park

Gala Swing Dance Afterparty | May 16, 2026 | Bumper Car Pavilion | 9pm
Featuring Live Music by The Rock-A-Sonics and Dessert & Champagne
Let's dance in support of the Park! The Gala Swing Dance Afterparty keeps the Gala in the Park celebration in full swing with dancing, drinks, and dessert. Every ticket fuels a creative community where art, dance, and music thrive!
We're thrilled to welcome The Rock-A-Sonics back to the Park, as they bring their exciting mix of atomic age rock ‘n’ roll, classic country, rockabilly, and rhythm & blues to the dance floor. Featuring Willie Barry on vocals and acoustic guitar, Eric Hurtt on electric guitar and vocals, Louie Newmyer on upright bass and vocals, Tommy Bowes on drums and vocals, and Kim Reynolds on piano, steel guitar and saxophone.
We'll start off the afterparty with a beginner-friendly swing lesson taught by Tom & Debra of Gottaswing, then dance the night away with the band!
Single Ticket: $60 | Tickets for Two: $100
Afterparty tickets are also included with Gala in the Park Tickets.
