'Twas a busy weekend out East on the social circuit!

Over 600 art-loving, party-going Hamptonites donned their most festive frocks and made their way to the Parrish Art Museum's annual Midsummer festivities.

To get the blood flowing, the two-day al fresco soirée kicked things off with a Friday night dance party.

Event Co-Chairs Larry Milstein and Destinee Ross-Sutton welcomed a flock of bright young things on the museum's magically lit terrace while Oscar Nñ of Papi Juice kept the upbeat soundtrack rolling late into the night.

Fresh off a night of cardio, the museum toned things down a smidge on Saturday with a divinely decorated dinner which was Co-Chaired by Deborah F. Bancroft, Preston T. Phillips, and George Wells. The stunning scene was dreamed up in honor of Racquel Chevremont & Mickalene Thomas, collectively known as Deux Femmes Noires, philanthropist and collector Miyoung Lee, and artist Jasper Johns whose work is currently featured in An Art of Changes: Jasper Johns Prints, 1960 – 2018 at the Museum.

Following dinner, Sara Friedlander of Christie’s led a paddle raise in support of the Museum’s programs, exhibitions, and education initiatives.

So, curious to see inside the weekend of buzzy bashes?
