Eureka Springs Historical Museum will host a five-hour dancing marathon fundraiser on Saturday, June 6.
Guests are invited to dance the night away and compete for amazing prizes. This fun-filled evening will take place in the “Gem” — which is the lower level of the Eureka Springs City Auditorium at 36 S. Main St.
“We are excited to bring back some dancing traditions to this historic space where local sock hops and barefoot balls were once held!” the museum said in a news release.
Museum director Jeff Danos, also known as DJ Testube, will be spinning ’50s music at 5 p.m., ’60s music at 6 p.m., ’70s music at 7 p.m., ’80s music at 8 p.m. and ’90s music at 9 p.m., with awards at 10 p.m.
Two types of tickets are available. A $20 General Admission ticket gets you into the event, and you can social dance as much or as little as you like. A $30 Marathon Dancer ticket gets you into the event and the five-hour marathon dancing competition for a chance to win!
There will be no paper tickets. Names of ticketholders will be included on a list at the door. Please bring your ID for verification.
If you have an active ESHM membership, you can purchase general admission tickets for only $10 each. Please check your email or call the museum for your exclusive member discount code to get this price. Discount codes can only be used once and will be applied to as many general admission tickets as you place in your shopping cart.
MARATHON COMPETITION
Those who purchase the Marathon Dancer ticket will be invited to compete in the five-hour dancing marathon for a special grand prize. Marathon dancers will be provided with three five-minute break passes and one 10-minute break pass, but must remain upright and dancing for the remaining time in order to win. Should there be multiple marathon dancers still going at the end of the evening, the marathon dancing finalists will compete in a dance-off, with the winners selected by the museum’s marathon judges.

In addition to the Marathon Dancing competition, the museum also will be hosting costume contests for all general admission ticket-holders and will award one winner in each of the following categories:
• Best ’50s costume
