The title says it all. Dust off your striped suits and fedora hats as it's time for the Gangsters' Ball, self-described as a "Swing Dancing & Burlesque Extravaganza".

There will be a 10 piece swing band, DJs, dancing, burlesque performers, and poker tables. Plus I imagine lots of first-rate bootleg booze.

More info and tickets at The Gangsters' Ball website.
