Cocktails & Kaftans

Grab your closest gal pal and join us for Cocktails & Kaftans on October 10 from 6:00-8:00PM! Sip on a delicious cocktail (or mocktail) , mingle with friends, and enjoy the sunset on the historic Shrewsbury-Windle lawn. Along the way, you’ll learn about fascinating women from history – both the women who helped shape Madison and the women who made their mark on the world of libations. Because history has a lot more stories to tell than you might think!

So put on your favorite kaftan, gather your girlfriends, and get ready for an evening of history, drinks, and good company.

Huge thanks to Scarlet Begonia for being our event sponsor. We’re looking forward to a wonderful evening!
