Barnacle Society to make a big splash with annual ‘Bash on the Bay,’ March 24

Chillaxin' at the 2017 Bash at the Barnacle."

The Barnacle Estate in Coconut Gove has weathered many storms over the last 121 years – not the least of which was the hurricane of September 2017. But nothing could get in the way of Bash on Bay 2018 – the Barnacle Society’s signature event of the season where patrons, families, and friends come out to celebrate.

The much anticipated annual event, taking place this year on Saturday March 24,  offers a little bit of everything – for the young and the young at heart. And if you want to slip on your favorite Victorian garb, or a captain’s frock, this is your big chance. Period costumes are strongly encouraged – as is having a great night out at Miami’s best backyard on the bay!
