Are you ready to catch up with your besties and strengthen your bond, or enjoy a date night unlike any other where you can share quality time with each other and celebrate life’s simple joys surrounded by beautiful people, magnificent flowers, and a glass of wine.
Are you ready to delight in an evening of freedom, creativity, and tranquility where you escape into the magical world of flower arranging and create a one-of-a-kind bouquet that you can bring home, or give away and everyone can marvel at your masterpiece.
If you answered yes to any of those questions, then join the Peekskill St. Patrick’s Parade Committee at its first ever “Sip & Bloom” event on Thursday, November 21st, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the historic Peekskill Elks Lodge at 1038 Brown Street where you can indulge in an evening of elegance exploring the beauty of seasonal blooms and flower arranging in a whole new way.
Debbie DiSisto and her staff from Forever Yours Flowers and Gifts, located in the Blue Mountain Shopping Plaza at 20 Welcher Avenue, will be helping attendees create and craft the perfect flower arrangements working with vibrant orange, yellow and red flowers. To round out the autumn bouquet, colorful oak and other fall leaves will help make your arrangement a perfect Thanksgiving delight.
Tickets for the Sip & Bloom are $50 per person which includes a glass of wine and the arrangement you created. It is not just a floral experience, it’s a celebration of moments, creativity, and community. All proceeds go to help defray the cost of the 2025 Peekskill St. Patrick’s Parade scheduled for March 15, 2025.
