Bay Shore, New York – A Dance with Death: 1950s Sock Hop Murder Mystery

A Dance with Death places guests inside a 1950s sock-hop mystery at The Bayview House at Captain Bill’s. Dinner, dancing, clues, and suspects are woven into a four-hour fundraiser-style evening. The 1950s setting makes poodle skirts, leather jackets, and other period looks a natural fit, although the public organizer information does not state that costumes are mandatory.

The $165 ticket includes dinner and dessert, beer and wine for guests age 21 and older, soft drinks, coffee, tea, entertainment, and gratuity. The event also features raffles and a 50/50, with additional activities including dance lessons and a wine-pull opportunity advertised for the 2026 event.

The Eventbrite ticketing terms allow refunds up to seven days before the event. Guests purchasing alcohol-related items should bring valid identification.
