Put on your vintage finery and join us for a rollicking review of the popular culture of last century.
See what you missed at last year’s event!
- Produced by Anna Lee, DJ’d by Jake Rudh and styled by Eclecticoiffeur, the runway show “Fashion Comes Full Circle” features Twin Cities designers who’ve taken inspiration from five decades of style: the 20s through the 60s.
- Enjoy shopping at a vintage boutique courtesy of Via’s Vintage Wear and Swank Retro.
- Try a round of mid-century trivia with Chuck and Sean of Trivia Mafia
- Make a souvenir corsage or boutonniere for that partygoer who caught your eye!
- Pick up a few tips on old school entertaining with Chowgirls catering as they share a few recipes.
- Bartenders from Bradstreet Craftshouse Restaurant (located on the street level of Graves 601 hotel) will be on hand to demonstrate their brand of classic mixology.
- To round out the night, enjoy the foot-stomping, gritty tunes of A Night in the Box!
Check out the new exhibit, Minnesota’s Greatest Generation: the Depression, the War, the Boom. This generation lived through it all, and their stories—tragic to heroic, dramatic to ordinary are captured in one of the Society’s most extensive exhibits to date.
