The Rosé Garden Party is a great way to kick off the summer season in style! Held on the grounds and inside the 1865 Lippitt House on Providence’s East Side, this annual party is a vintage-inspired event with live music, yard games including croquet, light bites, and a variety of rosé wines.
A fun summer afternoon in the lusciously landscaped garden, every guest receives a Lippitt House Museum wine glass to take home after the party as a memento.
Proceeds from the Rosé Garden Party support Lippitt House Museum programs throughout the year.
Tickets purchased for museum events are non-refundable.
YEARLY EVENTS
PRESERVE RI
Rhody Awards for Historic Preservation
Sunday, October 15, 2023
4:00 PM - 7:00 PM
$150/Person
We celebrated the honorees of the 2023 Rhody Awards for Historic Preservation on Sunday at The United Theatre in Westerly. They included a range of projects and people from across the state. Each year, Preserve RI showcases the best in historic preservation and its beneficial impacts to communities across Rhode Island. An independent jury of historians, architects, developers, community leaders and preservationists selected this year’s finalists.
Valerie Talmage, our Executive Director, said, “The Rhody Awards celebrates ordinary people taking extraordinary actions to make our world better--place by place, project by project. Today, when we are often disappointed with the prominent and powerful, how wonderful it is to find heroes here close to home.”
