Titanic 100 Year Anniversary Weekend, April 6-8, 2012
|
|
This year marks the 100th Anniversary of the ill-fated RMS Titanic. We're commemorating this glorious ship with a weekend of 1912 music, costuming, history and dance, right here in San Diego. Participants are highly encouraged to dress as though it's 1912 for all of the weekend's events, and formal attire is requested for Saturday night. Join us: you don't have to dance, all our events are for dancers and non-dancers alike!
Friday evening we're in an Edwardian meeting hall, Hornblend Hall, at the Pacific Beach
Woman's Club, with the incomparable Ian Whitcomb and friends, as he plays music of the era, including
selections from his Grammy Award-winning CD, "Titanic."

Saturday morning we're boating via water taxi across the harbor (approximately 20 minutes and
look out for icebergs) for a costumed lunch at the Victorian era Coronado Boathouse Restaurant. Lunch will consist
of your choice of Top Sirloin, Chicken or Salmon; and, includes salad, rolls, coffee/tea/soda, and cupcakes.
After lunch is an optional stroll and photo ops around the grounds of the fabulous Hotel del Coronado,
before heading back on the water taxi.
