Retro Reunion

👗 DRESS THE PART

This year's theme is Retro Reunion, celebrating The Victory Center's 30th Anniversary!

Casual attire is completely welcome too; there's no pressure to costume.

A Best Dressed Contest will be held to crown one gentleman and one lady as the night's top 90s icons — so if you're feeling it, bring your best look!
