About this event
Party for the Parks: Down the Rabbit Hole
The 14th Annual Party for the Parks will return to Colonial Lake on November 8, 2025. This year’s theme, Down the Rabbit Hole, invites you to lose yourself in a topsy-turvy Wonderland where whimsy reigns and imagination has no limits.
Think fantastical finery with a twist: dramatic hats worthy of a Mad Hatter’s tea party, bold colors and patterns that clash in perfect harmony, or elegant evening wear made curious with playful, unexpected accessories. Step into character, whether mysterious, mischievous, or marvelously over the top.
As night falls, Colonial Lake will be transformed into a shimmering dreamscape of twinkling lights, hidden surprises, and curious delights tucked into every corner. With the moonlit water as your backdrop, prepare for an evening of enchantment where Charleston charm meets Wonderland whimsy. An unforgettable celebration filled with wonder, laughter, and a touch of magic all in support of your local parks!
All proceeds from this event directly benefit the mission of the Charleston Parks Conservancy in 25+ public parks. Help us raise $250,000 for Charleston's parks and inspire the people of Charleston to connect with their parks and together create stunning public spaces and a strong community!
Tickets are $300 for VIP and $185 for General Admission. Tickets are all-inclusive and non-refundable. VIP tickets include access to the Accountally VIP Tent with private lounge with bars, signature cocktails, hors d’oeuvres and entertainment.
