Champagne Reception & Culinary Arts Tasting

Champagne Reception during Festival 2002.

The Champagne Reception is a festive event that kicks off the summer Festival of Arts. Food is served under a tent, with tastings provided by many fine restaurants. Sip champagne while enjoying live music and enjoying the splendid view of Marblehead Harbor. Garden attire is recommended, and recognition is given for the best hat.

Attending this important fund raiser for the Festival is an enjoyable way to meet other Festival supporters while sampling the wares of local food establishments. An invitation to the Champagne Reception is a benefit of making a contribution.

The 2004 Champagne Reception was held June 27 at Fort Sewell.
