Gatsby on the James | A Summer Signature Event at The Estate at River Run
About this Event
A Summer night, reimagined. GATSBY ON THE JAMES
Doors at 7:45 PM | VIP early entry at 7 PM
Event ends at 11:00 PM
Champagne at sunset. A jazz duo on the poolside terrace. A hidden speakeasy waiting to be found. Coupes catching the light. A swing band revealed at twilight. A late-night DJ carrying the dance floor toward the final hour.
Some evenings, old sport, you simply have to be there… for it’s the kind of night people talk about for years.
Gatsby on the James is a one-night-only summer soirée at The Estate at River Run — an immersive, multi-space experience designed to unfold from golden hour into late night. Live jazz, a swing band, a late-night DJ, classic cocktails, and moments of quiet discovery throughout the Estate

ATTIRE | 1920s GLAMOUR MEETS SUMMER ESTATE
Dress for mischief, magnificence, and midsummer glamour. Silk that moves. Beaded fringe catching candlelight. Linen suits and ivory dinner jackets. Pearls, art deco sparkle, a feathered headband, a silk bow tie — or a little swagger.
Think champagne, pistachio, emerald, and cognac. A whisper of lemon at golden hour. Velvet by midnight.
If it feels like something you’d wear to a secret estate gathering in 1925, you’re exactly where you should be.
