Make your reservations today for the 8th annual Art Deco Festival aboard the spectacular Queen Mary in Long Beach. This magical weekend “cruise” aboard the last of the great Maritime Monarchs will transport you back to the Golden Age of Travel for a weekend at “sea,” away from the dauly grind. The weekend is filled with tours, lectures, the Art Deco Bazaar, the Grand Art Deco Ball, Tea Dance, Cocktails in Historic Places and so much more.
In addition to being a whirlwind weekend of fun and discovery, the Festival also makes an important contribution to ongoing efforts to preserve the original Art Deco design elements aboard the ship. Proceeds from the Grand Art Deco Ball will go to updating the Queen Mary Story Tour with new exhibits from the historic archives.
