Our 4th Annual Boat Shoes & Bow Ties Gala, Auction and Fundraiser, is a just 2 weeks away! Join us June 13th, 6:30pm at the Watercraft Center and Harborside Park deck for our biggest fundraiser of the year and the best party of the summer! Don't wait, get your tickets before we sell out! This year, our guests will enjoy heavy hors d’oeuvres catered by Seaside Sensations, 2 full bars, inside and out, featuring this year's signature drink: Margaritas (it's 5 o'clock somewhere, right?!) by Sassy Spirits, dancing under the stars and in the Watercraft Center, the always popular Live Auction filled with treasures both local and beyond, and a Silent Auction, too. And don’t forget the fun of seeing how your friends and neighbors embrace the party theme – bow ties & boat shoes – with their creative attire for the evening. This signature event is always a special night for you, our Friends! Sponsorships are still available, as well, so please consider sponsoring our celebration! We have several opportunities available, each with its own perks, including preferred parking on a Friday night, a sponsor-only "Bubbles & Bivalves" pre-party, and a special sponsor-only auction for a prized piece of themed coastal artwork by local artist Sydnor Greene! So put on your boat shoes, deck boots, or other nautical footwear and top that off with a coastal casual, yet formal look above (think Jimmy Buffett-style with a bow tie!) and join us for this special fundraiser in support of the Maritime Museum and Friends of the Museum! Latitude: 34° → Attitude: Fun! We can’t wait to see you at Boat Shoes & Bow Ties 2025!
