Zelda’s Midnight Revelry: An Immersive Jazz Age Celebration
May 08, 2026
5:00 PM - 10:00 PM
- Zelda Dearest150 S Lexington Ave, Asheville, NC 28801, USA, Asheville,
Dust off your dancing shoes and prepare to step back a century. For one night only, Zelda Dearest transforms into a private estate party straight out of 1926. This isn't just a party—it’s a time capsule. From the first notes of the live band to the secret "Prohibition Pop-up" hidden on the grounds, the world of the "Beautiful and Damned" is yours to inhabit.
The Aesthetic: Strict 1920s Attire. Think shimmering sequins, sweeping pearls, sharp tuxedos, and feathered headbands. If you wouldn’t have been let into a Fitzgerald speakeasy, you won't be let in here.
The Night’s Itinerary
- 5:00 PM | The Golden Hour: Settle in with a cocktail and explore the property with exclusive, sunset tours of our historic houses.
- 6:00 PM | The Full Swing: The jazz band ignites, the "Prohibition Pop-up" begins pouring authentic era-specific recipes, and the floor belongs to the dancers.
- 6:30 PM | The Entrance: Keep your eyes on the door. Zelda (Ayla) makes her grand arrival to host the festivities.
- 7:30 PM | The Feast & The Floor: Heavy hors d'oeuvres are served as the Charleston Dance-Off takes center stage.
- 8:30 PM | The Look-Alike Contest: Zelda herself will help crown the evening’s most authentic and "admirable" ensembles.
- 9:00 PM | The Cool Down: A final, soulful jazz set as we toast to the legendary nights that never truly end.
"Here's to the bright young things, the wild hearts, and the nights we’ll never forget."
