A summer night at Redwood is always worth celebrating. This year’s Redwood Summer Party welcomed guests under the tent on the Redwood lawn for a sold-out evening of cocktails, dinner, and dancing in support of the historic library. Newport’s beloved ocean breeze kept the summer heat at bay - creating a fabulous and fun evening beautifully, leading into a magical ombré sunset painted in shades of red and pink. Guests arrived in festive red, white, and blue attire in the spirit of America’s 250th, adding a stylish touch to the night while Uptown Mix kept everyone on their feet dancing and celebrating. From the glowing sunset to the joyful energy on the dance floor, it was a #pictureperfect evening of community, generosity, and summer celebration.
