Watkins 50th Anniversary Party: Keepin’ History Alive Since ‘75
The Watkins Museum is turning 50, and we’re celebrating in groovy style with a far-out fundraising gala that transports guests straight back to the 1970s!
Join us at Abe & Jake’s Landing on November 20 for a night of retro revelry, featuring throwback tunes, vintage vibes, and ‘70s-inspired dinner and drinks from local favorite Bon Bon. Get ready for funky photo ops, a retro costume contest, silent and live auctions, and a dance floor that’s guaranteed to stay alive all night. Whether you’re a disco diva, a history lover, or just here to boogie, this is one party you won’t want to miss. Help us celebrate 50 fabulous years of the Watkins and groove with us into the next chapter.
