The Ragdale Ring Gala is the premiere of "Shaw Town," a contemporary interpretation of architect Howard Van Doren Shaw's original 1912 open-air theater. Guests will meet the people of Shaw Town, an eclectic, eccentric cast of characters encountered in the Ragdale gardens and experience a moveable feast, live performance, and auction on stage at this festive garden party. The themed event takes its inspiration from the contrasting aesthetics of the Belle Epoque (1890-1919) during which Shaw worked and the retro-futuristic Steampunk interpretation of that period. 

Inventive Belle Epoque attire, garden-friendly footwear, and wrap for outdoor setting recommended.
