Starlington

Dearest Readers,

It is with a flutter of excitement and a whisper of anticipation that this author reports on the most anticipated engagement of 2026…Starlington, an event that resembles what most TV viewers know as “Bridgerton”. Prepare your carriages, dust off your gloves, and ready your wits, for a spectacle is about to unfold at the Virginia Museum of Natural History on Saturday March 21 at six o'clock in the evening

Starlington will be an evening of dazzling intrigue, scandalous waltzes, bourbon tastings and, dare we say, potential romantic connections.

Reserve tickets now!
