@msu_libraries Charles H. Templeton Ragtime and Jazz Festival: Gatsby Gala

For the 11th consecutive year, the Charles H. Templeton Ragtime and Jazz Festival is bringing the spirit of the late 19th and early 20th centuries to Mississippi State University’s Mitchell Memorial Library March 30-April 1. This year’s activities begin on the 30th at 6 p.m. with the popular Gatsby Gala fashion show. Admission to the Gatsby Gala is free. Members of the MSU Fashion Board will model approximately 20-30 creations inspired by the 1920s. Patrons are encouraged to dress in 1920s attire for the event. The original garment designs are created by MSU students enrolled in freshman through senior-level design courses taught by Catherine Black, a visiting professor in fashion design and merchandising.
