Travel back in time at Rienzi’s annual Punch Party, the festive fall celebration at the MFAH house museum for European decorative arts. Partygoers are encouraged to wear their best fancy dress costumes and pompadours to sample 18th-century English cocktail recipes and modern punches concocted by Mongoose vs. Cobra, Houston’s favorite bar for artfully-crafted beer and spirits.

The unique sounds of Divisi Strings’ contemporary quartet AMP’D will set the tone for dancing and socializing on Rienzi’s terrace. Visitors can also explore the historic Camellia Gardens or snap a photo in the grand portrait-inspired photobooth.

Punch, hors d’oeuvres, and valet parking is included. Guests must be 21 or older. Space is limited; purchase tickets in advance here.
