A lavish summer evening in Roaring ’20s style

In this twist on our popular Twilight Tours, guests are invited to enjoy an evening garden party in the style of The Great Gatsby. It will be a night of hot jazz and cold drinks set at the extravagant historic mansion and estate – worthy of Jay Gatsby himself. This year marks the 100th anniversary of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s famous novel, “The Great Gatsby,” and Meadow Brook is celebrating in style. As a luxurious estate built in the 1920s, it’s the perfect place to host a Gatsby Garden Party.

Enjoy light refreshments and a cash bar in a spectacular setting, worthy of even West Egg’s social scene. Bring a date or friends to sip a signature cocktail and play croquet while the sun sets over the Great Estate. Guests are encouraged to don their finest floral frocks or linen suits and hats for this themed evening experience.

Although Meadow Brook Hall is a grand architectural destination, it was a home built for entertaining–to be lived in and enjoyed. Guests are invited to enjoy refreshments as they play croquet and explore the gardens, estate and select areas of the historic mansion at their own pace.
