Spend a relaxing afternoon in Salisbury House’s formal gardens at our annual signature fundraiser, The Garden Party. Enjoy live music, play croquet, and dine alfresco; it’s the stuff that Sundays were made for.

Sunday, June 7, 2026
11 AM - 3 PM

Tickets include the brunch buffet; dessert bar; bottomless mimosas (while supplies last!) along with select beer, wine, and non-alcoholic beverages; yard games like croquet and badminton; and interactive experiences - floral arranging and an art activity led by Jess Quinn. 

Have fun raising funds: There are several ways to support Salisbury in addition to tickets, sponsorships, and donations. We will be raffling off a few baskets (details coming soon), selling a signature Garden Party 2026 candle, and have select signature drinks for sale at the bar (tips are donations if you would like to make an additional contribution).

Sharing a Legacy & Honoring a Green Thumb

As Salisbury House Foundation’s annual signature fundraiser, this event supports the foundation and ensures its ability to maintain and care for the green spaces of the estate which were originally designed by Edith Weeks. It is her love of nature and legacy as a hostess that we honor each year; learn more about Edith here.

Please note: This event takes place in a grassy, tented area on the east and west terraces and in the garden. A few steps will be required to access the event. Accessible parking is located on the north side of the house.
