Summer Soirée Potluck

COME GATHER WITH US AT OUR SUMMER SOIREE POTLUCK at THE KESTER HOMESTEAD!

Join us on Sunday, August 6th from 4-7pm for a summer picnic with drinks, bonfires and lawn games and a live band!

The Summer Soiree is a time to gather with friends old and new - share a POTLUCK PICNIC dish and BYOB for the Community Bar. This is a lovely time to gather, relax and explore the property. The 1854 House will be open for self guided tours and you can wander the rambling trails out to the Woodland’s Cathedral and chill out in the Wild Garden. Dinner and music will be set-up in the Gambrel Barn.

This event is FREE but ticketed, so we know how many places to set at the table (kiddos are more than welcome, just be sure to book everyone a ticket so we set enough seats!)

MORE DETAILS:

The theme is SUMMER PICNIC - so bring a dish that honors the summer harvest and please choose to support local growers, farmers, or pluck from your own garden if you can when preparing your dish! We strive to be conscious in our consumption, so if you bring meat, try to follow the same ethos! We have so many amazing farmers here in Upstate NY, so support local however you can for this meal.

There are typically ~120-150 guests at these gatherings, so a bring either a main, salad, side or dessert that could feed 10-20 and we’ll have more than enough food!

Bring beer, wine, lemonade, or whatever you want to add to the BYOB Community Bar, or feel free to bring what only you’ll drink and keep it at your table. The Kester Homestead will not be serving drinks for sale.

The BAND is playing from 4-7pm, so we hope to see your tootsies on the dance floor!

This gathering is open to everybody free of charge, but we do ask that you RSVP below to reserve a ticket for yourself and your guests so that we can properly accommodate everyone!

Are you interested in hosting your wedding at The Kester Homestead? We will have a select number of guided tours available with our Event Coordinator this evening - schedule with us now before they’re all gone!
