We are beyond thrilled to announce our next Moms’ Night Out event at one of the most gorgeous spots in Jacksonville, Epping Forest Yacht & Country Club. This nationally recognized historic location “offers a traditional elegance reminiscent of times gone by, while offering the modern conveniences of today.” JMB thought this gorgeous backdrop on the St. Johns River would be the perfect spot for night out of fashion and fun!
On Thursday, October 23rd at 6:30pm we would love for you to join us for an amazing evening of cocktails, food, shopping with a group of local vendors, a fashion show featuring local boutiques, and of course awesome giveaways and swag!
What to Expect
Tickets are $35 and include one drink (wine, beer, or champagne and then a cash bar), lots of delicious food, dessert, an amazing swag bag and a raffle ticket for the giveaways. Tickets will not be available at the door so make sure you purchase your ticket HERE. There is also an option to purchase extra raffle tickets for the giveaways.
We want this to be a fun night out for everyone, but please drink responsibly. We recommend that you carpool with friends, take a cab, or make arrangements for safe transportation.
Our outdoor soiree and cocktail party will include a fashion show produced by Alix Robinson of Styled by Robinson featuring Olive, Therapie Jax, Rosie True, Katherine Way Collections, and fab’rik. They will be showcasing fabulous looks to help transition our wardrobes into fall (lets hope for some cooler temps!).
