Break out the pearls, pinstripes, and your best Rat Pack swagger—Summer at the Schmidt is bringing vintage glam to the garden on Saturday, August 9, 2025, from 5:00 to 8:00 pm at the historic Schmidt House.

This isn’t your average garden party. It’s a swingin’ soirée where cool cats and classy dames gather for a night of mid-century magic—all in support of local students and community history.

Expect:

• A 1950s-inspired garden party set against the stunning backdrop of the Schmidt House
• Live tunes to get your toes tappin’
• Delicious local fare and summer refreshments
• An opportunity to support the Olympia Tumwater Foundation’s college scholarship fund and the Tumwater Youth Music program

So grab your favorite hep cat, throw on your vintage best, and join us for Glam in the Garden, Giving with Heart. You’ll be making a difference while having the time of your life.
