What a wonderful morning for the arts in Surprise! ☀️🌵

We stopped by The Colonnade for a fun craft and to share more about our Art of Healthy Aging program. A big thank you to Sun Health for partnering with us to bring meaningful arts experiences to the community!

We also loved connecting with many of our arts partners at the City of Surprise Community and Resource Center Grand Opening. We’re excited to see this new space become a welcoming resource for the community! 🌟City of Surprise Government

Spend the evening with 4 local AZ artists, original music, fun stories, and a little bit of everything in between. This interactive performance brings together local songwriters for a lighthearted night of refreshments and music you won’t hear anywhere else. 🎸✨

All the Better with Jacob & Melinda are playing their first-ever all-acoustic set, featuring songs you’ve never heard before—not even from their new LP!

Abby Walker will bring her acoustic pop originals with big feels and heartfelt lyrics.

Did you know?🌟 By 1945, the Goodyear Aircraft was the largest employer in AZ! With a shortage of workers and space, the company recruited new employees-including women— to meet the growing demand for aircraft production.✈️

Now, you can step inside the historic hangar for “A Night to Remember”, a special fundraising Victory Gala celebrating Arizona’s important role in WWII! 🇺🇸

But this night is about more than looking back—it’s about investing in the future. Your support helps fund the arts and preserve the historic places and stories that make the West Valley so special. 🥂Come dressed in your 1940s best, raise a glass, hit the dance floor, and help us keep Arizona’s history and arts alive for generations to come.

What are you wearing to A Night to Remember? 👀✨

Consider this your sign to trade the everyday look for something straight out of the 1940s! Think swingin’ skirts, tea-length dresses, polished trousers, suspenders, victory rolls, red lips, and all the vintage glam. 💃🕺

Join us November 14 for an unforgettable WWII-era evening in Flite Goodyear’s Historic Hangar, featuring swing bands, roaming musical acts, vintage vehicles, cocktails, auctions, and more. ✈️🎶

Get your tickets before prices go up on October 1st!!! 🎟️ Available at nighttoremember.org
