Annual August Fête

Join us Thursday, August 6!

Each year, we look forward to our Annual August Fête as a celebration of the architectural heritage we are working to preserve, and our incredible supporters who help make that work possible.

This year, we’ll celebrate historic Codfish Park! Tour classic beach cottages steps from the Atlantic, then enjoy an elegant reception at the ‘Sconset Casino. Enjoy delectable signature cocktails and hearty hors d’oeuvres from Island Kitchen, live music from the Shep Cats, and a silent and live auction featuring unique experiences and treasures from island artists and artisans.
