LENOX — The Lenox Chamber of Commerce and local business owners announced the return of the Lenox Garden Party, a premier retail experience taking place on Saturday, June 20 from noon to 5 p.m. This community-wide celebration invites residents and visitors to “shop, dine, and unwind” while enjoying an afternoon in full bloom across the historic Lenox Village.
The event, created and organized by Sam and Tracy Haupt, owners of Concepts of Art and Sugar & Thyme, features a curated menu of experiences at more than 20 participating locations, offering complimentary cocktails and gourmet bites to shoppers. From millionaire pasta salad and pomegranate summer spritzers to artisanal cheese pairings and local spirits, the Garden Party showcases the culinary and creative heart of Lenox. In addition to the refreshments, visitors will receive a special free garden gift with purchase at every participating stop.
“This is about thanking locals and celebrating the summer by local businesses supporting you while you support them — a real party by those who make Lenox a destination,” Sam Haupt said.
The celebration spans downtown Lenox, featuring beloved local institutions including Concepts of Art, Sugar & Thyme, Glad Rags, the Gifted Child, MacKimmie & Co, Oliva!, Sohn Fine Art, Hado Gallery, Trillium & Brava, Sugar Magnolia, the Wit Gallery, Lykke Living, and Hoadley Gallery, all on Church Street; What a Gift, Nejaime’s Wine Cellar, Home on Main, and the Book Nook (Lenox Public Library), all on Main Street; and Art & Chocolate, Dare Bottle Shop, and Club Aloysius, on Housatonic and Walker streets.
“Your presence helps sustain the small businesses that bring heart, creativity, and character to our community,” the Lenox Chamber of Commerce noted. “We are honored to celebrate with you and hope you enjoy every moment and every local touch.”
Attendees can pick up a physical copy of the menu at any participating location to plan their route through the festivities.
