Western Swing 2025 Pancake Breakfast

We’re going to try something a little different from a musical standpoint for our July 13 Pancake Breakfast. Western Swing music was popular throughout the service life of Red Oak Victory and we’re bringing it back with live music by the popular Aaron Burnham Trio. If you’re not familiar with it, Western Swing is a blend of swing, country-western, and jazz and provides great music to dance to. Western Swing fans often dress the part of classic Hollywood cowboys and therefore part of our breakfast event will be a Western Swing Costume Contest! (If you need ideas just Google 1940s-50s Western Swing outfits.)

As usual, you will enjoy freshly made pancakes, sausage, bacon, and scrambled eggs accompanied by apple slices, coffee and orange juice. And Mimosas are available for our adult patrons for an extra fee. You can then tour the Red Oak Victory historic ship and work off some of those extra calories. Also, as always, the radio room will be in operation to send free Radiograms to friends and loved ones anywhere in the world.

Your breakfast is only $20 (plus $3.18 ticketing fee) for adults and $5 (plus $2.18 ticketing fee) for children 8 and under. Breakfast service begins at 9:00 a.m. and ends at 12:30 p.m. As an added bonus, a limited number of same-day tours of the ship are available at a discounted rate with your breakfast purchase. You’ll have your choice of our new self-paced audio tour or a scheduled docent-led tour. Click on the GET TICKETS link for more details, pricing, and purchase.

Red Oak Victory is ideally situated for panoramic views of the entire San Francisco Bay and adjacent cities. After breakfast, enjoy a tour of the ship or just sit, chat with new friends, and enjoy the view. Breakfast ends at 12:30 PM but the ship remains open for our guests until 4:00 PM.

Aaron Burnham and his Trio are popular performers among the Western Swing crowd in the San Francisco Bay Area.
