14th Annual Gatsby Afternoon Picnic
In our enduring partnership with Wilton House Museum, this year's Gatsby Afternoon Picnic will be held on Saturday, September 26, 2026. This year's theme will be Travel Art Deco Style. Think about the Golden Age of Travel around that time which included automobiles, trains, ocean liners, and the early days of passenger air travel.
Though not required, we of course encourage 1920s and 1930s attire and elaborate picnic displays. Come dressed for the occasion and transport yourself to a simpler time.
Entertainment will include:
A very special travel themed photo booth.
The 1920s traditional jazz of the band Fatback.
An open dance floor for all guests to Charleston and otherwise dance the day away.
This year's contests will feature Best Dressed, Best Picnic Display, Best Pie (with a twist), the Charleston Contest, and a return of the very popular Musical Chairs!
Self-guided tours of Wilton House are currently being arranged.
Picnic games such as ring toss, croquet, and more!
Shop at Daisy's Vintage Closet.
And of course, the fabulous vintage road warriors of the Old Dominion Model A Ford Club will be in attendance.
Rain date is Sunday September 27th.
