Event

Newport Art Deco Weekend!

The Greater Boston Vintage Society invites you to celebrate the 1920s to 1940s with its first annual Newport Art Deco Weekend! This event will take place at Salve Regina University's Fairlawn Estate (aka Pell Center/Young Building). This beautiful estate was built in the 1850s and used as a private residence for most of its life until being converted for school and college use. With grand ballrooms and a vast lawn on Bellevue Ave, it is the perfect place to experience life in the art deco age. Period style outfits are suggested but not required.

The weekend will consist of many themed activities and classes. Workshops on Saturday range from history, fashion, to dance. New this year, we have dance studio Providence Swings teaching swing related dance classes. Also, during "Lawn Party Picnic" which happens in the middle of the day we have the running of the "Fairlawn Derby"!

On top of all this, this year's band for the Black-Tie Ball is very special. "Drew Nugent and the Midnight Society" are coming all the way from Philadelphia! This is an incredible band who rarely plays this area. Performances and a cash bar are included with the evening's show. Sunday, guests can join us on a scenic tall ship cruise of Newport Harbor!
