Come one, come all to The National Constitution Center's Bootlegger's Ball

The National Constitution Center presents BOOTLEGGERS BALL with exclusive access to American Spirits: The Rise and Fall of Prohibition exhibition before it opens to the public, Oct. 18.

You don't have to wait until Halloween this year to dust off that perfect beaded dress or press that white tie, because our National Constitution Center will become a swanky speakeasy this Thursday, October 18th and no, you don't have to go through any telephone booths to find this one! Just make your way to the Center's Grand Hall Lobby for The National Constitution Center's Bootleggers Ball from 5:30 until 8:30. The night will be fixed with all the musings and allure of doing something you know you shouldn't.

Transport back to the twenties and do the Charleston! You will be surrounded by Jazz Age music, courtesy of the Ben Mauger Orchestra, and people learning the Lindy Hop right next to The Mixed Pickles Vintage Dance Co. Let those inhibitions go, it's Prohibition night! And don't forget to take a themed photo op, because looking at those the next day are always the most fun.

All this jazz will be $35 for museum members and $40 for non-members (ages 21+). Reservations include advanced access to American Spirits: The Rise and Fall of Prohibition BEFORE anybody else even gets to view it. Call 215.409.6700 for reservations or head right here.

Who will you be? The flapper. The jazz player. The moonshiner. Or the rum runner? I think it's safe to say we'd all be amongst the bootlegging crew. Lips will touch liquor Thursday night!
