The Lawn Party harkens back to the Jazz Age, the era in which the mansion at Castle Hill was built.
The event will feature twenties and thirties jazz, swing dancing lessons, Charleston performances and a vintage fair on the newly restored Grand Allée, a half-mile long landscaped lawn lined with statuary and hedgerows.
Boston Swing Central will start the festivities with a group dance lesson beginning at 3 p.m. Brooklyn-based Baby Soda Jazz band will take the stage at 4 p.m. and play throughout the evening.
Attendees are encouraged to come in twenties-style dress and bring a picnic supper or purchase one on-site.
Clam chowder, sandwiches, salads, ice cream, popcorn, nuts, and beverages will be available through out the afternoon.
Boston Swing Central is a dancer-formed, volunteer-run, non-profit dedicated to promoting swing dance.
They hold regular dance parties every Friday at their studio in Charleston and welcome new dancers.

Castle Hill, a 165-acre National Historic Landmark, was the summer home of Chicago industrialist Richard T.
Crane Jr. and his family from 1910-1949.
They entertained in grand style at their 59-room English-style mansion and its surrounding gardens.
Now owned by The Trustees of Reservations, Castle Hill on the Crane Estate, is the perfect setting for a lawn party celebrating the music and dance from its hey-day.
Tickets are $20 per person and $15 for students, seniors, and Trustees of Reservations
members.
Children 10 and under admitted free.
