Description
The Gatsby Tea & Fashion Show is iconic part of the Great Gatsby Festival weekend! Hosted by Cherie Oliver with Yesteryear Sierra, models bring roaring 20s fashion back to life. Guests enjoy afternoon tea and 1920s luncheon, while learning the stories behind the looks and listening to live jazz. The 2026 fashion show theme is "Honeymoon at Tahoe: 1900s - 1950s."
Be sure to don your best 1920s "glad rags" and enjoy the show! For 21+ guests, champagne service begins once the tea is through! Service provided by the Great Basin Institute staff and volunteers.
*As in 2025, the event will be hosted at the Pope House, not at the Heller Estate (Valhalla Tahoe).
**Parking: Free parking will be available for ticketed Tea & Fashion Show guests at our public parking lot, at 1 Heritage Way, South Lake Tahoe, CA 96150.
