Take a step back in time at The Kessler with its Dancing & Desserts with The Singapore Slingers celebration.

Under the direction of impresario Matt Tolentino since late 2007, the band boasts a complete orchestra of musicians that evoke the big band era. The vibe aims to recreate a 1920s society club, so put on your dancing shoes and dress for the occasion. The bar opens at 7 p.m., and the show starts at 9 p.m. Tickets include dessert and a champagne toast.
