Tremains Gatsby Picnic
ART DECO TRUST EVENT
Sponsored by Tremains
Celebrate the elegance of the Art Deco movement and enjoy a relaxing Sunday afternoon with your friends at one of the festival’s cornerstone events. Whether you bring a picnic rug or a gazebo, pack something to eat and drink and join the throngs in their finery as they all picnic in style on the upper and lower lawn. Taking inspiration from the Paris World Fair of 1925 where Art Deco had its debut on the International stage, a highlight of the event will be a competition for the best Parisian-inspired gazebo. If the weather is wet, we will picnic on the footpath in Emerson Street beneath the shop canopies.
