We’re super-excited to be celebrating our 5th year in business this October! And what better way to kick off the NEXT five years than will a giant party at New Bedford’s world-famous Whaling Museum?

We’ll be partying down in the stunning Jacob’s Gallery, under the museum’s phenomenal collection of four real whale skeletons! With live DJ sets, complimentary tapas and treats, cash bar from Cardoza’s Wine & Spirits, mini-fashion presentations happening through-out the evening, and, of course, a Calico pop-up shop to satisfy those inevitable vintage cravings–it’s going to be a night to remember!

Tickets are $10 ($15 at the door) and are available online or by calling 508.999.4147.

Click here to RSVP on Facebook!

We cannot wait for this party, and we cannot wait to see you there!

xoxo,
Calico
