SURF’S UP, Friends!
Join us for the Dreamland’s biggest event of the year, our annual fundraiser: The DreamBIG Event!
On Sunday July 28th hundreds of islanders will come together for an unforgettable night benefitting the Dreamland. This year promises to be an evening you’ll never forget including music and dancing poolside to DJ Lazy Boy while enjoying fabulous cocktails and dinner by the bite by Island Kitchen.
This year’s theme is Endless Summer which is loosely based on the 1966 American surf documentary, ENDLESS SUMMER, by Bruce Brown. Island Surfer attire encouraged.
Funds raised at this event are critical to the operation of the Dreamland, year-round.
This year, we are celebrating our DreamBIG Honoree: Elin Hilderbrand and will present The Fred Rogers Good Neighbor Award to Leah Bayer, owner and operator of Aunt Leah’s Fudge in honor of her selfless contributions to the Nantucket Community.
BENEFACTOR PACKAGES and INDIVIDUAL TICKETS are now on sale!
I would like to extend a special THANK YOU to our 2024 Event Chairs:
Wendy Hudson, Honorary Chair
Ana & Chris Young
Jenny Johnson & Robert Cocuzzo
Timothy Ehrenberg & James Scheurell
Thank you for your ongoing support and I look forward to welcoming you to the EVENT OF THE SEASON!
