The fourth Gilded Age Orchestra performance at Rosecliff covered the late 19th century at the end of the Franco-Prussian war. Additionally, the musical selections covered La Belle Epoque (“The Beautiful Era”), an ode to Tabasco and Fête Champêtre (“Garden Party”) at Chateau-sur-Mer.
A few days after the 22nd Annual Newport Wedding Show, The Social Diary held a consultation meeting, and a perfect time for tea as well! We discussed all things hosting and entertaining. Place settings were at the top of our discussions, of course.
The YMCA was a perfect partner for the Ocean House in 2025. The Black and White Ball, Around the World was the theme for the evening’s affair.
The Social Diary attended the Ocean House Gallery Reception in collaboration with the New England Contemporary Fine Art. Some featured artists included Julia O’Malley-Keyes, Sanchitha Vishwanath and Roseanne Cerbo.
The Elms once again played host to the Member Holiday Open House on December 10th. Tickets to this sell-out Christmas party only available to Members, one of the many perks of the Newport Mansions.
The Social Diary got an early start on Christmas. We celebrated it in style at Sparkling Lights at The Breakers on December 1st.
Most of us can name a handful of authors who dominated thriller and crime fiction. These include Agatha Christie, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, John Le Carre and James Patterson. This is a short list, of course. But at the Thriller Panel author series at the Ocean House, a new selection of good reads awaited, with a fresh breed of gifted authors. They may not be household names yet, but given their track record, they are on their way to becoming a household staple.
If you haven’t seen a game of polo, you are in for a treat. Nestled in Portsmouth, Rhode Island, the Newport Polo Club is America’s first, established in 1876. Whether you are new to polo, or a frequent watcher, the game of polo is accessible to all. Newport Polo USA vs England was our season ending for 2024. However, the Newport Polo final game was on September 28th.
Blithewold Big Beautiful Bamboo Birds celebrated with an opening reception on Saturday, September 21st. The Great Elephant Migration of Newport is off to a new home. However, these big beautiful bird Avatars will continue to delight for another year!
This was the second annual outing for The Social Diary. The Newport Boat Show 2024, this past weekend, did not disappoint. If you enjoy boating, or perhaps looking to add to your “fleet,” this was the place to be.
