The 2nd annual Grand Prix of Scottsdale Gatsby Weekend will roar into downtown Scottsdale November 4-6, 2016. This spectacular 1920s-themed experience promises to become the soiree of the season as revelers come decked out in period 1920s dress ready to step back in time with Classic Cocktails, Charleston Competitions, and an exhibition of 1920s Grand Prix cars.
The Gatsby Under the Stars gala kicks off the weekend Friday, Nov. 4, at 7:00 p.m. Attendees are encouraged to wear period, black tie optional dress as they step back in time to enjoy the 1920s era music from the band Big Lucky. The Charleston, Black Bottom and Shimmy will take over the dance floor, while onlookers sip classic cocktails straight out of the Roaring 20s.
