Cincinnati Museum Center’s 1940s Day
Classic cars, big band music, hoop skirts and swing dancing bring the 1940s roaring to life at Cincinnati Museum Center. The museum’s annual 1940s Day returns to historic Union Terminal Saturday, August 31.
The 1940s are alive inside and outside Union Terminal as 1940s Day immerses you in a celebration of the music, fashion, vehicles and people who shaped the pivotal era. Live reenactments of radio programs, a costume contest and history-inspired cooking demonstrations will have you dancing the jitterbug and cooking with gas. Partners from the Nancy & David Wolf Holocaust & Humanity Center will also be participating, sharing firsthand stories of hope, resilience and survival from one of humanity’s darkest moments.
As CMC plans for the event, they are looking for 1940s musicians, vintage car owners, vendors and demonstrators to participate. Anyone interested can visit cincymuseum.org/1940sday to fill out a registration form.
