About

Dress in your flapper-era finest for an elegant evening of dining and dancing that recreates Hollywood's golden nighctlub age. From the authentically attired doorman to the sassy coat check girl, Maxwell DeMille's Cicada Club takes you back to the 1930s while vintage orchestras and entertainment set the scene for romance. 

Originally built as a top-of-the-line haberdashery in 1928, The Cicada Club retains many of the elements created by the original designers and artisans. The nightclub features a mezzanine with its own Art Deco bar and lounge that overlooks the main floor. The opulent dining and showroom is set off by giant old-growth oak columns that feature pairs of angels holding bells and a spectacular gold-leaf ceiling.

On big band nights ($30-$40), Dean Mora and his 20-piece orchestra serenade partygoers with the top big-band tunes of the 1930s and '40s. The evening concludes with an after-party in the Oviatt Building penthouse. Vintage evening attire encouraged.

July 27:
Join Cicada Club host Maxwell Demille for his annual 39th birthday bash, where you can dance the night away to the music of Dean Mora and His Orchestra, a 20-piece big band featuring "the canary of song" Kayre Morrison and special guest vocalist Mr. Eddie Wakes. There will also be an exclusive after-party at the art deco Oviatt Penthouse featuring the Tip Top Trio plus special guest performers Ginger Pauley, Marie MacGillis, Jennifer Keith, Richard Halpern, Christine Nelson, Rusty Frank and magician Brian Gillis with his Mysterious Magic Show. One night only!
