Forte 50’s Sock Hop
Totally Free & Open to the Brookings Community!
Slick back that hair, break out the poodle skirts, and get ready to cut a rug—Forté of Brookings is throwing a 50s-style Sock Hop, and you’re invited! This free, family-friendly event is packed with throwback fun, tasty treats, and vintage vibes for all ages.

We’ll be spinning all your favorite 50s and 60s hits—perfect for dancing, toe-tapping, and showing off your best hand jive on the dance floor.

Enjoy a spread of classic, 50s-themed bites and sweet treats that’ll take you back to the golden era. From savory to sweet, we’ll have something to satisfy every diner-loving guest!

For guests 21+, we’ll be serving a signature Sock Hop cocktail plus a selection of adult beverages—all complimentary, just like everything else at the event.

We’re starting a new Forté tradition! Help us crown our very first King and Queen of Forté during a fun and festive ceremony you won’t want to miss.

Break out your best retro fashion—think bobby socks, leather jackets, cat-eye glasses and more—and strut your stuff in our costume contest. Prizes and bragging rights await the coolest cats and dolls!

We’ll have yard games, co-op challenges like the three-legged race, hula hoop fun, and plenty of activities for kids and adults alike. It’s good, old-fashioned fun for the whole crew!

Take a guided tour of our beautiful community while you’re here. Whether you’re just curious or looking for your next home, we’d love to show you around!
This event is 100% free and open to everyone in the Brookings area—so grab your friends, bring the family, and join us for a night of music, laughter, and community at Forté.
