presents
The 26th Annual Gatsby Summer Afternoon
Sunday, September 12, 2010 1-6PM
Dunsmuir Helman Historic Estate
2960 Peralta Oaks Court, Oakland, CA 94615
On Sunday, September 12, the Art Deco Society of California will host its Annual Gatsby Summer Afternoon at the historic Dunsmuir Helman House in Oakland California
(same location, new name).
Now in its 26th year, the Gatsby Summer Afternoon lets several hundred aficionados of the 1920s and 30s step back to a time when elegance was a way of life and the Charleston and fox trot were all the rage.
This is not a spectator event. From 1-6pm the panoramic Dunsmuir front lawn becomes a stage on which all participants picnic, dance and sip champagne, reminiscent of a scene from The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald's famous novel of 1925.
