The 1920s Hot Club jazz sounds of Rambling Roots
An open dance floor for all guests to Charleston and otherwise dance the day away
This year's contests will feature Best Dressed, Best Picnic Display, Best Pie, the Charleston Contest, and a return of the very popular Musical Chairs!
Self-guided tours of Wilton House including their exhibit "The Women Who Saved Wilton" about how the house was saved and moved in the 1930s
Picnic games such as ring toss, croquet, and more!
A caricaturist to memorialize the event for you
