Festive “Blue Tie” Cocktail Attire
Our Saturday night Sesquicentennial Gala will be taking place in a beautiful tent on Lawrence Field. We encourage you to interpret “Blue Tie” as an opportunity to dress festively with your St. Mark’s pride in mind. Men are welcome to purchase 150th ties for the occasion and ladies might elect to wear a blue dress – have fun with it! Please note that our tent is not floored, and appropriate footwear is advised.
