When the Cummer Gardens were decimated by the flood waters of Hurricane Irma, it remained unclear how difficult (or costly) reconstruction would be. As the Cummer family themselves were known to throw excellent parties, it makes sense that the museum would raise funds for the restoration of the namesake gardens with a series of dinner events, each with a different theme. Upcoming dinners include the Japanese-themed “Artful Umami” January 10, “Captivating Caper” mystery dinner April 22, and French-themed “Soirée Boheme” June 13. Tickets start at $150.
