We may be deep into chilly winter temps, but the Mint Museum Auxiliary annual Winter Party is heating things up in the QC on Saturday, February 9, 2019. Cuban style. You’ll want to grab some maracas and get your tickets now for a festive & fab evening with Cuban music from the Orquesta Mayor Band, libations, and traditional Cuban hors d’oeuvres provided by Roots Catering.
Tickets are $125 each ($63 tax deductible), and can be purchased at mintmuseumauxiliary.org
WHEN: Saturday, February 9 from 8 – 11 pm
WHERE: The Palmer Building 2601 E 7th Street
Suggested dress is ~ of course ~ Havana Style, and it’s cocktails so think colorful, tropical prints for guys and girls. Not “gala” dressy but summer cocktails dressy ~ enough so you feel in the party mood. This is a super fun one for pulling out or buying new summer statement accessories like big, showstopping earrings and necklaces, bright, colorful heels, and an adorable printed clutch.
Still need ideas? We convinced the Event Co-Chairs Mimi Harris and Frances Williamson along with Host Committee member Brooke Knaus to model some party perfect Cocktails in Cuba fashions from the QC stores. All your outfit shopping questions answered below!
