2015 Great Gatsby – Summer Foodie Soirée

 Saturday, September 5th, 2015
7:00 p.m. – 11:00 p.m.

Foodie Soirées are held in private residences and feature cutting-edge art installations by visual artists; live performances of all genres; tours of private art collections; chef demonstrations; and more! Our exclusive guest list is by invitation only and comprised of museum professionals, writers, gallerists, musicians, theatre folks, fashion industry peeps, visual artists, dancers, photographers, culinary professionals and the people who love them. All guests are asked to bring a culinary creation to share. Examples of past events can be found HERE.

This time around the theme was The Great Gatsby and the event took place in an historic Point Loma mansion that has hosted the Duke of Windsor and Charlie Chaplin among other notable dignitaries.

The Great Gatsby was set in the Roaring 20’s during Prohibition, so fix’d up a Speakeasy complete with password emailed out the night before. Cocktail attire was a must, with special access to a secret wine cellar given to those with 1920’s flair or wearing all white for Labor Day. Croquet and a variety of other flapper-era surprises also took place. 

Here are a few images of our event!
