Description
Gogh Van Orange Art and Music Festival, Swing Dance Contest at the Plaza, Orange, California, 1995. Image shows three winning couples of the swing dance contest holding their trophies. At far right is band leader Tex Beneke (1914-2000). Gogh Van Orange, a festival of art and music, began in 1995. It was sponsored by the Orange Chamber of Commerce and presented by the Orange County Register. Recreating a feeling of the 1940s, it featured a juried art competition, big band music from the '40s, a swing dance contest, student art show, chalk street painting, and an antique car display. In 1999 this event left the Plaza and moved to the Stadium Promenade.
