Dusk in the Dogwoods: A Garden Parlor Party

Dusk in the Dogwoods, an annual fundraiser and spring celebration at the Mabry-Hazen House, raises money to support capital improvement projects and the continuing preservation of the important historic site. The event is a swingin' 1920s garden parlor party with signature cocktails, local beer and wine; silent auction of items and experiences from local small businesses, producers, makers and more; costume contests for the most Historically Authentic, Most Creative, and most Spirit; heavy hors d’oeuvres; dancing; croquet, bocce and horseshoes; live music from the Old City Buskers; and historic house museum tours.

Attire: Period dress is appreciated but not required.

In the event of rain, Dusk in the Dogwoods will be delayed one week to Thursday, April 16, 2026.
