What should I wear?
We encourage you to dress in comfortable celebratory attire! Past attendees know this means just about anything you want it to mean, from wellies and woolies to gowns and fascinators. While we don’t have a red carpet, we do have lively annual entries to our Best Dressed Green Tie Awards. Keep in mind: the Green Tie Celebration will be held under our tent at the farm, rain or shine.
Where should I park?
The popular shuttle migration path from Coogan Farm to Mystic Seaport is back! Green-Tie Celebration guests will park in the North Lot at Mystic Seaport Museum. Shuttle service to Coogan Farm and back to the parking area will run continuously from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM. Handicapped parking permits will be honored in the limited spaces at Coogan Farm.
