Flappers and dappers alike will converge upon the Barnacle Historic State Park, Apr. 2, at 6 p.m., in celebration of Commodore Ralph Munroe’s 171st birthday hosted by the Barnacle Society.
This Roaring ’20s-themed fundraiser, complete with a Jazz Age concert on the grounds of the commodore’s historic home, also will include a traditional pasta dinner, dancing, and a much-anticipated silent auction. Moneys generated by tickets sales, the silent auction, and other donations will go fortify efforts by the funding arm of the park, The Barnacle Society, to maintain and preserve the home, the grounds, and the property’s boathouse at bay’s edge.
Guests will be invited to grab a French 75 cocktail and peruse the fabulous deals at the silent auction before settling into a delicious supper. Then they’ll step up to cut a rug to the fabulous sounds of The New World School of Art’s quartet.
Attire is ’20s themed, so all the flappers and dappers are welcome. The event takes place from 6 to 8 p.m. at The Barnacle Historic State Park, 3485 Main Hwy., Coconut Grove, FL 33133.
Tickets are available to purchase individually and in discounted tables of 10. Buy early for the best prices. Members pay $65 each or $600 per table, and “future members” pay $75 each or $700 per table. The number of tickets is limited, so be sure to quickly visit https://thebarnaclesociety.square.site/.
For an additional $30, guests may attend the VIP Speakeasy Hour. Your add-on ticket will grant you early access to the park for a preview of silent auction loot along with a fabulous Giggle Water sampling event from 5 to 6 p.m. Please note: The VIP ticket add-on is sold only in conjunction with an event ticket.
The Barnacle Historic State Park is administered by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection and events are sponsored by The Barnacle Society Inc., a non-profit organization created for the preservation and financial support of this historic site.
