Seersucker Social
For the fourth year, vintage-loving social group Dandies & Quaintrelles hosts its annual Seersucker Social and associated bike ride. This year, the event can only be accessed by joining the group as a member—but top-level membership gets you access to the badminton-and-croquet-filled festivities, plus a picnic lunch, four drink or dessert tickets, picnic blankets, entertainment, and shuttle transportation to the event. The event is only open to the first 500 guests (and last year the 1,000 tickets sold out), so move quickly! Side note: Proper Topper is offering 20 percent off full-price clothing and accessories if you mention that it’s for the event. Sunday. Location to be announced the day before. $25 to $45. For more details and membership, vist the Dandies & Quaintrelles site.
