Hill-Stead Benefit Gala – 2023

May 20, 5:00 PM - 10:30 PM

PURCHASE TICKETS

Let us transport you to Paris and La Belle Epoque!

Imagine Theodate and her parents arriving in Paris for the first time in November 1888. The Eiffel Tower is going up and La Belle Epoque is in full swing – fashion, innovation, culture, nightlife, and more! By the end of this trip, Theodate has discovered architecture, her father has bought his first Monet, and voilà, the future Hill-Stead is born!

We will celebrate this meaningful historic moment filled with marvelous creativity, daring, and beauty.

Join us in honoring our founders’ legacy and supporting this magical museum. Help us raise funds by shopping the silent and live auctions offering fine wines, unique experiences, and so much more. Let’s make this historic property and art collection shine to its fullest and keep this unique place that enriches so many vibrating with life.

Attire: From the sidewalks to Maxim’s to the Moulin Rouge, La Belle Epoque encouraged one’s individuality, so you do you!

November 6, 1888 — We have just arrived in Paris. Oh la la! I’m certain that this trip will someday inspire something magnifique.Theodate
