This year’s black tie dinner dance invites guests to embrace the intrigue of a masked evening — from elegant Venetian-inspired designs to modern masks of satin and metallic. The interplay of beautifully adorned guests in imaginative masks promises to create a scene both mysterious and unforgettable.

Guests will gather for cocktails and conversation beneath the breathtaking painted sky of the ballroom at Rosecliff, before proceeding to dinner in a beautiful tent overlooking the ocean beyond.

The Bob Hardwick Orchestra will once again provide its distinctive live music during dinner and for dancing. As the evening unfolds, the tent will come alive with energy as friends reconnect and dance the night away in true Newport style.

The Dinner Dance is the primary summer fundraiser for The Preservation Society of Newport County. Proceeds from the evening directly support the preservation, restoration and stewardship of the 11 historic houses and landscapes.
