Field & Fête: Celebrating 75 Years

• Saturday, May 16 @ 10:00 am
• Winterthur Museum, Garden & Library, Winterthur, DE
• 800-448-3883

Pack your prettiest picnic and step into the timeless charm of a country-estate garden party as Winterthur marks its 75th anniversary with live music, vintage automobiles, a parade, and guided garden experiences.

Inspired by the H. F. du Pont family’s love of entertaining outdoors, defined by relaxed elegance, our May garden party takes place amid the scenic open fields alongside Azalea Woods.

Enjoy your own beautifully packed picnic or indulge in upscale small bites, grill classics, and savory skewers, along with signature desserts, cocktail selections, and Winterthur-label beer, all available for purchase. Then settle in for a joyful day with music by The Unforgettable Big Band performing favorites from across the decades.

Adding to the charm, an old-school procession of vintage Rolls-Royces, 1950s automobiles, Winterthur farm tractors, marching bands, and bagpipers will parade through the garden in a spirited nod to Winterthur’s heritage.

Come celebrate the season—and 75 years of Winterthur—with a gathering that blends nostalgia, style, and the simple magic of celebrating outdoors. Rain date Sunday, May 17. $29; $15 for Members.
