Swingadelic with the Swing Dollz: A Musical Tribute to Yonkers during World War II!

Join us Saturday, August. 9th, for an exciting return to the music that permeated our lives during World War II, with an exciting concert featuring songs our parents and grandparents enjoyed during those years. We will return to the music that permeated Yonkers during World War II, with Swingadelic with the Swing Dollz. They will bring us back to the days of big band music, music that punctuated our daily lives.

The extraordinary efforts of Yonkers during the 1940s earned our city the designation of New York State’s World War II American Heritage City! We are the only municipality in New York State who will hold this coveted title.

Our citizens volunteered for all needed duties , going over and above to “bring our boys back home.” We pay tribute to these men, women and children who devoted their lives to winning World War II through the music of their time, celebrating theirsacrifices and lives on the Homefront with a special World War II Concert performed by the acclaimed big band Swingadelic, and special guests!

Recognition of the Contributions of Indigenous Peoples.

We thank the indigenous peoples, caretakers of Mother Earth for many millennia, realizing and respecting her gifts of water, fire and air. This relationship is based on their profound spiritual connection to Mother Earth, the connection that guided their ancestors to practice reverence, humility and reciprocity.

Everything taken is used with the understanding only what is needed is taken. What is taken is watchfully used, aware of the amount taken and the method with which it is taken, to ensure future generations are not put in peril

We gratefully acknowledge the Native peoples on whose ancestral homelands we present our .performances, as well as the Native Communities who make their home in the Yonkers area today.

By caring for Mother Earth, you care for all of us.
