The Big Band Bash isn’t just a great night out — it’s Celina’s only community-wide awards celebration dedicated to recognizing the businesses, organizations, and individuals who help make Celina what it is today.

It’s our chance to come together, celebrate their accomplishments, and give a well-deserved salute to the people who continue to serve, lead, build, and invest in our community.

So grab your tickets, dress the part, and join us for a night of swing, celebration, and hometown pride

★ UNIFORM FOR THE EVENING ★

1940s Vintage • Military-Inspired • Cocktail Chic

Ladies, think victory rolls, red lips, swing dresses, and vintage glamour.

Gentlemen, suspenders, sharp suits, military-inspired details, and dapper 1940s style are all encouraged.

No inspection required—just come ready to have a great time!

★ LIVE FROM THE USO STAGE… MAD MEN SWING!  ★

We’re bringing the sound of the 1940s to life at The Big Band Bash: Night at the USO with a live 5-piece swing band!

Get ready for toe-tapping classics, big band favorites, smooth vocals, and plenty of Rat Pack-style swagger as Mad Men Swing takes the stage and keeps the party moving all night long.

★ ★ ★

★ EXTRA RATIONS & WINNINGS  ★

Try your luck and help support the Chamber with two fun fundraisers during the evening! Browse and bid on great items in our Silent Auction, then step up for the Liquor Pull Ring Toss for a chance to take home a bottle. There will be no live auction this year, so you’ll have more time to mingle, enjoy the music, and join in the fun!
