Roaring ’20s Garden Party

Sunday, July 20 from noon to 5 p.m.

Put your glad rags on and join the fun at Spadina Museum.

Come celebrate the Roaring ‘20s with activities that are the bee’s knees, jazzy performances and workshops that are the cat’s meow.

Bring your picnic basket or purchase food to have a bite in the picturesque gardens while spending the day with family and friends.

Tickets are $28 (adults/seniors) and $20 (children/youth).
