ROARING TWENTIES PARTY
(Re)live the Roaring Twenties. A cocktail theme party. The 1920’s are better known as the Roaring Twenties.
Flappers, gangsters and bootleggers came together in secret behind the closed doors of the speakeasies. The atmosphere was sensual and electric. Underground clubs pulsated with ragtime and the music of Cab Calloway, Al Jolson and Louis Armstrong. Women wearing headgear with feathers, pearls and Mary Janes kicked up the hems of their glittery dresses while they danced. Men with pinstripe suits and pencil moustaches drank cocktails and smoked fine cigars, despite prohibition.
We can organize your complete party, including the bar, bartenders, DJ’s and even a band.
