About Roaring Twenties Lawn Party

Don’t miss the party of the summer! You’ll find jazz musicians on 2 stages, antique autos, a vintage fair, flappers and dandies, and picnickers galore. Explore the formal gardens, compete in contests, take a dance lesson, participate in a fashion parade, and enjoy a drink at the Bootlegger’s Garden featuring Mill River Winery, 1634 Meadery, and True North Ales.
