You don’t have to be an expert in pop culture to know that retro is in. Fashion, movies, and even music are becoming more and more influenced by trends from a bygone era. Amendment XXI is giving fashion aficionados a chance to experience the nostalgia of another era by hosting a series of theme nights on the upper floor.
Get Your Retro On Downtown
Gatsby Night at Amendment XXI featured music from the 1920’s and 1930’s, specials on champagne, and an impromptu conga line through the downstairs bar. The party continues this Friday with 40’s Theme Night, and attendees are encouraged to come dressed in their best 1940’s attire, sip specialty drinks and dance to jazz and swing music.
And remember you can visit one of the downtown food trucks for a bite to eat after the party, since you’re sure to work up an appetite after a night of 40’s fun. You can get more information on all of Huntsville’s food trucks by visiting the Our Valley Events Food Trucks Directory.
