The 19th annual Daddy Daughter Dance will swing into the Pendleton Convention Center on Saturday, Feb. 10 featuring beloved activities and an expanded ticket capacity.
After years of sell-out events with 675 dancers, Pendleton Parks and Recreation has expanded the ticket numbers this year up to 700. Recreations Supervisor Jonathan Bullard said the increased capacity is directly linked to how often the event sells out.
“The bulk of the tickets are sold out in the first three weeks,” Bullard said. “People love it. This is a major event for Pendleton, and we want to let as many people participate as possible.”
In addition to the increased capacity, another change this year is the location to purchase and pick up tickets. Tickets will continue to be available online in the same format as past year, but in-person ticket sales and pick-up of physical tickets will happen at the Pendleton Recreation Center, 510 Dorion Ave, Pendleton, instead of the Pendleton Parks & Recreation office. Pendleton Parks and Recreation moved its recreation office and programming to the Rec Center earlier this year.
Tickets are $25 per person and may be purchased online or in person at the Pendleton Rec Center. Tickets will go on sale Jan. 3, and physical tickets will be available for pick up at the Rec Center starting Feb. 1.
The 2024 Daddy Daughter Dance is scheduled for Feb. 10 at the Pendleton Convention Center. This year’s theme is black and gold. The event will again include a DJ, decorations, random drawings, gifts at the door, a posed photo, basic hors d’oeuvres and refreshments. The photo studio will open at 3 p.m., and the main hall opens at 6 p.m.
The Daddy Daughter Dance is open to father figures and daughters age kindergarten and up.
