The biggest night of the year, dedicated to securing the future of our historic home and our vital cultural and educational programs
| Break out the neon, tease up your hair, and get ready to rewind the clock. The DANK Haus is partying like it's 1986! Join us for a high-energy evening inspired by the unforgettable music, style, and spirit of the 1980s. Guests will enjoy a seated dinner, DJ and dancing, vibrant 80s decor, and exciting live and silent auctions, all while raising critical funds for the DANK Haus German American Cultural Center. All proceeds benefit DANK Haus and support the preservation of our historic building, as well as our cultural, educational, and community programs. So slip on your fingerless gloves, dust off your shoulder pads, pop those collars, and join us for a totally rad night in support of Chicago's home for German-American culture! |
