Celebrate this budding spring season at the Dedee Shattuck Gallery Spring Picnic on Saturday, May 18 from 5-7pm. This picnic is a free event, but local BBQ, ice cream and sweets, will be available for purchase. BYOB. Expect live entertainment, and a friendly competitive natural hat contest too!

BBQ is offered by Smoke and Pickles, a Westport catering company that provides fresh locally sourced cuisine. Spring meals include wood smoked chicken and pulled pork, a killer grilled cheese, or a beautiful local spring salad, accompanied by tangy pickles, and savory sides.

$5-10$ per plate, (Full menu)

The Flour Girls Baking Co. welcomes your sweet tooth with a variety of baked confections from their mobile dessert truck. All-natural ingredients and homemade family recipes grant these indulgences a positive, ‘yes!’

Bart’s Homemade Ice Cream will be serving icy scoops at $3 a cone. This ‘super-premium’ ice cream company originating from Western, MA is committed to eliminating environmental and social problems by donating a percentage of profits to charity. How cool is that?

As for spring tunes, a fusion of folk, country, and bluegrass music from one of The Shattuck’s favorite singer/songwriters, Putnam Murdock. Enjoy while you feast, or dance barefoot, as Putnam serenades your inner musical muse.

For all you creative competitors out there, we are so excited to host a natural materials hat contest! We encourage guests to construct and bring their own hat, made from naturally found earth material, for example straw, wood, vegetation, and stone (if you’re brave)! Photos will be taken of all participants and one lucky hat maker will receive a special prize in honor of their outstanding creation. For inspiration check out the gallery on this page.
