This event might be the banger of all bangers.

Strap on those wingtips, shine up the chrome, grab your best poodle skirt and head on down to Surreal Estate for the Candy Hearts and Saucy Tarts Valentine’s Day sock hop. Whether you’ve got a sweetheart or are lookin’ to find one, there’s something for everyone.  All you need to dance past your bedtime and find that happy ending. Whether a candy heart or a saucy tart, swing on by to Surreal Estate for the hep postwar sensation!

The FIRST LEVEL features a dance floor done up just like a sock hop with kissing booth (and break up booth) to boot!
The SECOND LEVEL, Betty is beautiful in this pin-up burlesque fantasy paradise.
The THIRD LEVEL, take a trip to lover’s lane and find your own Garden of Eden (clothing optional) Be careful not to bite the apple!
