Big Band Social Dance featuring Dan Gabel and his Orchestra!
Friday, Sept. 19th, at FHC Village Hall on the Common
Big Band Music Returns to Framingham! Our Big Band Music Weekend kicks off with a lively community dance at Framingham’s historic Village Hall. Enjoy live music from Dan Gabel and The Abletones, an 18-piece swing orchestra known for their vibrant, authentic renditions of hits from the "Great American Songbook."
The evening will feature special guest vocalist Margi Gianquinto. Margi is an established New York vocalist whose repertoire recalls the elegance and charm of icons like Peggy Lee, Julie London, and Johnny Mathis.
Whether you are a seasoned dancer or just here for the fun, with a group or out on the town solo, the night begins with a beginner-friendly dance lesson followed by a full evening of dancing. Light concessions and a signature mocktail will be available for purchase.
Guests are invited to enjoy a pop-up exhibit in the lobby that explores Framingham’s golden age of nightlife along Route 9. Framingham’s music and entertainment scene flourished in the mid-20th century with venues like the Monticello, Meadows, and the iconic Maridor. This dance pays tribute to those lively times and the popular performers who came to Framingham during those years.
Themed attire from the 1950s is encouraged but not required.
Tickets are limited and expected to sell quickly.
