Ticketed Foundation Events
When you attend an Air Force Museum Foundation event, your ticket purchase helps our 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization support the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force™. The Foundation hosts After Dark and Celebrating Aviation events, as well as a variety of other exciting events.
After Dark: Swing the Night Away
Join us this coming Valentine’s Day, Saturday, Feb. 14, 2026, for the return of our fan-favorite event, After Dark: Swing the Night Away! The event takes place from 6-10 p.m. at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force™. Try your hand (or should we say feet) at swing dancing on the dance floor. Enjoy the swingin’ sounds of ‘Victory Canteen,’ A Tribute to the Glenn Miller Army Air Force Band, as performed by the Tom Daugherty Orchestra.
Folks will also get a gander at artifacts not normally on display, plus enjoy themed open aircraft, trivia with prizes, games, food, and cash bars. Kiss your Valentine under the wings of history. No special someone this year? No problem. Enjoy a beverage with your favorite aircraft and friends.
After Dark events are for adults only (ages 21+). Tickets for Swing the Night Away are $45. Doors will open at 5:30 p.m., and the event will run from 6-10 p.m.
