How To Gatsby: A Get-Ready Guide to an Elegant Art Deco Afternoon

  • Alameda Masonic Lodge 2312 Alameda Avenue Alameda, CA, 94501 United States (map)

We are thrilled to be hosting our annual pre-Gatsby How-To event at the Alameda Masonic Lodge (new venue this year!). We recognize that dressing up in vintage styles and packing a perfect picnic can be intimidating, especially for first-timers, so we will be hosting a series of short lectures and a fashion show with great tips for pulling together a stylish, comfortable, vintage-inspired ensemble. We'll also have information on getting to the Dunsmuir Estate (and getting around once you arrive), and a couple of display picnics for inspiration. Specific program information will be coming soon!

Throughout the event, our vendor bazaar will be open for shopping for vintage clothing, jewelry, accessories, and picnic items... and, of course, more socializing! We're proud to be hosting some fabulous local vendors this year which will be announced shortly. We are very grateful to our vendors for their continued support! If you are a vintage seller interested in vending at this event, please email zelda@artdecosocietyofcalifornia.org for more information.
