Dear Old Nat's Big Band Bash!

Though Spokane’s famously beloved Natatorium Park has been gone now for 50 years, it remains a nostalgically celebrated and fondly remembered piece of the city’s history. For its next fundraiser celebration, the MAC is reviving some of the joviality and fun that the Nat brought out in its visitors with a big band-style bash, complete with swingin’ music by the Hot Club of Spokane, a no-host bar, costume contest, lawn games and plenty of dancing. Guests are encouraged to dress up in 1930s and ’40s-inspired attire as a throwback to the Nat’s heyday. While guests take a rest between all that dancing, they’ll be able to head inside to view the museum’s current exhibitions.
