Join Boston Mayor Michelle Wu at the 25th Annual Rose Garden Party on Friday, September 9 from 5 – 7, benefiting free family-friendly programs and events in Boston Parks. The James P. Kelleher Rose Garden is located in the Back Bay Fens, featuring 3,000 rose bushes, perhaps, at this time of year, not at peak bloom, but definitely flowering. This event, generally held in June, had to be postponed this year, but our hot weather should still make for an entertaining and enjoyable evening.
Included: Live and DJ entertainment, a silent auction, en plein air painting demonstration, passed hors d’oeuvres, and more. Garden party attire is enthusiastically encouraged.
Be sure to enter the fun “Hats Galore” contest by dressing up in your finest Rose Garden Party hat. The judges are Gustavo Leon, Jonathan Soroff and Candice Wu, who will choose: the Most Creative, Most Elegant, Best Fascinator and Just For Men winners.
Individual tickets are $150. The address of the Kelleher Rose Garden is 73 Park Drive. Get your tickets or donate at https://www.boston.gov/civic-engagement/rose-garden-party
