The event is from 6 to 9 p.m and

historical landscapes. Guests are encouraged to wear their Alice in Wonderland
attire and costumes. There will also be a cocktail reception and a cash bar.
Tickets to the Mad Hatter Tea
Party are $25 to $35 dollars when you RSVP before Nov. 9 and $40 dollars for
general admission. All admissions will go toward The Barnacle, which was built
in 1891 on Biscayne Bay and is now a state park. The Barnacle was originally
