STEP ONTO THE LUSH LAWN AT THE ANNUAL CROQUET TOURNAMENT.
A splendid spring morning awaits, filled with a delectable brunch and spirited competition.
It's not just a game — it's a community celebration wrapped in the elegance of opera and the timeless charm of croquet. Wear your finest garden party attire and join a gathering that marks more than two decades of unforgettable moments in support of the arts.
Sunday, May 18
10:00 AM
This event promises laughter, leisure, and a touch of competitive spirit, making it an unbeatable way to welcome spring!
DRESS FOR THE OCCASION
Enjoy the festivities with white sports attire inspired by Old World Charm.
Gentlemen are encouraged to wear turn-of-the-century whites, and ladies can opt for long dresses and garden party hats. White lace is traditional but certainly not mandatory.
