Today, we’re thrilled to spotlight Spirit of ’45 Bay Area and their incredible event that’s sure to transport you back-in-time to the victory celebration!

This year marks the 80th anniversary of the end of WWII—a moment that reshaped our world and defined the Greatest Generation’s legacy.

Honoring this milestone is a chance to connect with the courage, resilience, and unity that turned the tide of history and gave us the freedoms we cherish today.

Step into the 1940s, feel the pulse of victory, and live a piece of history that’s still shaping our future.

Hosted by History San José and Keep the Spirit of ’45 Alive Bay Area, this event is a must for families, history lovers, and anyone ready for a swingin’ good time.

Here’s what’s in store:

• Live swing music and a vintage car show with WWII era military vehicles too.
• A WWII Tent City where you can meet WWII veterans and Rosies and hear their stories.
• Explore historic homes with costumed guides sharing 1940s era details.
• Kids will love breaking codes, tackling agility courses, or learning about canning with the women’s land army.
• Grown-ups, hop on the historic trolley, dress to impress with your best vintage outfit for epic photos, and join the Victory Parade with a reenactment of President Truman’s announcement and the iconic Times Square kiss.

When the sun sets, the party kicks into high gear! Dance under the Electric Light Tower to the 19-piece Swing Solution big band.

Don’t know how to swing? No worries—free dance lessons are included! Grab a drink, enjoy food truck eats, and dress to impress in 1940s attire for a USO-style night to remember.

This is more than an event—it’s a chance to re-live a famous day in history, feel the joy of victory, and make memories with your family or that special someone.

Whether you’re a history nerd or just love a good party, this day has it all.

Don’t miss your chance to relive the excitement of a war-time victory and USO-styled celebration under the stars.
