If you'd like to sign up for the pie contest, you must pre-register by emailing Sarah Liston.
If you've ever wanted to learn the Charleston and have a legit occasion to perform those lithe steps, head to the fourth edition of this classy lollapalooza. Hosted by the ever-dapper Michael Arenella and his Dreamland Orchestra, today's festivities bring Fitzgerald's heyday to roaring (but family-friendly) life. The band's period melodies set the mood for the vintage-clad to dance, take portraits, rumble around the island in a 1920s motorcar, and imbibe elderflower concoctions by sponsor St-Germain Liqueur. There's also BBQ, a pie-recipe contest, a parade of vintage hats and swimsuits, and traditional games like tug-of-war.
