Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
The women sported victory rolls and Rosie the Riveter bandannas while the men put on fedoras, suspenders and WWII military gear to dance under a blazing sunset at the the annual 1940s WWII Era Ball on at Boulder Airport on Saturday night. Photographer Danielle Lirette was there to document the annual trip back in time.

Keep Westword Free... Since we started Westword, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Denver, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Denver with no paywalls.
