The Roaring Twenties were a time when women came into their own. They acquired the right to vote, established new habits, and changed the way they presented themselves. Hemlines were raised, hair was cut off, eyebrows were darkened, and the idea of a "new woman" was introduced.

This weekend-long event is a fun amalgamation of Charleston dancing, live music, and flowing drinks (Prohibition be damned).
