In our enduring partnership with Wilton House Museum, this year's Gatsby Afternoon Picnic will be held on Saturday, September 27, 2025 (Rain Date: Sunday, September 28, 2025)! Enjoy a pleasant day on the beautiful grounds of Wilton House Museum. The theme this year is 100th anniversary of the publication of the novel we all know and love. We of course encourage 1920s-inspired attire and elaborate picnic displays. Come dressed for the occasion and transport yourself to a simpler time.
Entertainment will include:
The 1920s Hot Club jazz sounds of Rambling Roots
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, the Charleston Contest, and a return of the very popular Musical Chairs!
Self-guided tours of Wilton House including their exhibit "The Women Who Saved Wilton" about how the house was saved and moved in the 1930s
Picnic games such as ring toss, croquet, and more!
A caricaturist to memorialize the event for you
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.
