9th Annual Art Deco Festival<\/strong><\/p>\n If you’re sick of your technology-ridden routine of hotspot-hunting, selfie-taking and proverbial YOLO-ing, then this Labor Day weekend event might be the welcome change you need. The Queen Mary takes a look back at the roaring twenties with a variety of events such as a grand ball, martinis under the stars and what could be the classiest pajama party. Although the price can be steep on some tickets, it’s not every day you get to practice your jazz-age slang, you dig?<\/p>\n WHERE<\/strong>: The Queen Mary, 1126 Queens Highway ***<\/p>\n Twenties too old-school your taste? La Lune Palace <\/i>is celebrating the 81st birthday of Cambodian singer and songwriter Sinn Sisamouth, known in the ’50s through ’70s for his psychedelic fusion of rock, blues and traditional Khmer music. But get the idea of candles and cakes out of your head because on honor of “The King of Khmer Rock,” you’ll be indulging in a six-course dinner along with producers, song writers, actors and singers from different eras. There’s also a singing contest where you can belt it out for a chance at at cash prize.
