Gatsby Garden Party
Take a step into the Jazz Age at the Westport Museum’s Gatsby Garden Party! Enjoy lawn games, light refreshments, and spring weather. As part of the event, you’ll also explore authentic men’s and women’s fashions from the 1920s inspired by the excess and glamor of F. Scott Fitzgerlad’s hundred-year-old classic The Great Gatsby.
Enjoy tea sandwiches and lemonade—and play a round or two of croquet. This is a great event for the whole family! Bring the history of Westport and the culture of The Great Gatsby alive for you and your loved ones.
Tickets are $20, $15 for members. Included with your ticket is full admission to our current major exhibition Playful Pastimes, which explores the ways Westporters spent their leisure time at the turn of the twentieth century.
