Celebrate the Nation’s 250th Anniversary at a special “Moonlight Swing” dance and dinner Saturday, Oct. 17, 2026, at Commemorative Air Force Airbase Georgia in Peachtree City, Ga. The night promises to be a festive occasion commemorating the 1940s era, an historic part of United States history.

Music by the Peachtree Jazz Edition will rock the Airbase Georgia hangar with popular 1940s tunes, surrounded by the ambiance of WWII aircraft. Guests will enjoy a catered dinner in 1940s style, with a unique silent auction featuring valuable warbird artwork.

Proceeds from the event will support the expanding education programs provided by Airbase Georgia, ranging from elementary through high school, with additional opportunities for aviation career events.

“We couldn’t think of a better opportunity to celebrate our nation’s history and ensure that it will be carried forward for the youth of today and tomorrow,” said Airbase Leader Mark Richards.
