Wyandotte Victory Day Rally Celebrates WWII Era

The 1940s wartime era will be the focus of the day on Saturday at .

A military history exhibit will be on display from noon to 6 p.m. as a precursor for a 6:30 p.m. Victory Day rally.

World War II living historians will be on hand for the exhibit, recreating a period victory garden and showcasing military era artifacts and vehicles. Admission is $2 at the door.

Those wanting to take a deeper step back in time can stay for the victory rally, which will feature dancing, refreshments and a cash bar.

A “war bond” ticket is required to gain entry past the guards standing at the door with an on-the-spot donation for entry into the hanger.

The rally will replicate a USO canteen, complete with a big band orchestra, dancing and dance lessons. Visitors will be able to step into a European theatre for a cool libation or head over to the Pacific Theatre for a tiki inspired hula.

News announcements on the ongoing war effort will be given throughout the night. There’s even a chance for an air raid alert. 

Period clothing and military uniforms are encouraged, but not required.

Tickets for the rally are $15 for general admission and $10 for military, seniors, students and Wyandotte Historical Society members, if purchased in advance at . Tickets also will be sold at the door. The cost is $15 for everyone.
