- **Event Description**: Join the Unforgettable Big Band for a very special evening at York's historic Valencia Ballroom:

"Freedom Is Not Free" - A Celebration of the York Community and America's 250th

As our nation marks 250 years of independence, we invite you to step back in time for a vintage World War II USO-style show and canteen, celebrating the unique role York, Pennsylvania has played in American history, including the remarkable story of the York Plan, a model of wartime industrial cooperation that helped turn the tide of World War II.

The Valencia Ballroom is one of a rare few traditional big band ballrooms still standing in the United States, and its storied stage has hosted some of the greatest names in American music. There is no more fitting place to mark this milestone anniversary.

The evening will feature live big band music by York, PA's very own Unforgettable Big Band, dancing, and a cash bar. We will honor our nation's fallen, pay tribute to those who have worn the uniform, and recognize the first responders who keep our community safe every day, including veterans, police, fire, and EMT. Proceeds will benefit charitable local causes. 

Guests are encouraged but not required to dress in the style of the 1940s. Tables are available for groups, organizations, and individuals alike.

More than a concert, this will be a celebration of community, history, freedom, and the music that carried a generation through one of America's greatest chapters.
