Wilmington–On August 18, 2012, from 5:30 p.m. to 9p.m. The Fabulous Esquires Big Band, will be performing on the front porch of the historic Banning Museum.

First formed in 1958, this 17-piece swing band and two vocalists truly believe that it don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that swing. They manage to pass along the gift of swing from one generation to the next for the last five decades.

The concert includes dinner, dessert, dancing and dance lessons with a professional. Wine will be served. Reserved seating and VIP gated parking is $75.00. Otherwise, the concert, dance lessons, and dessert is only $25. You can bring you own diner, blanket and/or chair inside the gates on the front lawn of the historic Banning Museum. Swing Dance attire admired but not required.
