The annual Cocktails at the Castle is taking place September 25, 2026, at the American Swedish Institute.

This September sees the ASI’s historic Mansion transforms into a 1920s-esque destination for music clubs, dance floors, and speakeasy-style cocktail lounges… so the theme is vintage cocktail attire with music by Naomi Uyama and Her Handsome Devils and Hot Club Mania Quartet (who we just saw in July 2026).

Line Up:

 

We attended a Cocktails at the Castle in Sept 2024 and noted, “This year’s Cocktails at the Castle theme, at the American Swedish Institute, was “Country House Party”. Audience members were asked to dress in their country gear, and everyone got into the spirit of it: jeans, button shirts, cowboy hats, jean jackets, and western boots. The entertainment portion were also on the Country/Western theme, with headliners LAAMAR, Pit Stop, and Clare Doyle, as well as Line Dance with Billie (which seemed like a big hit with audience) and drag performance with Sasha Cassadine and friends. If music and dancing weren’t your thing, there’s also collaborative weaving with Riley Kleve, Riddle Masters of Hollow Hill in the Mansion, Flower Pounding Fiber Craft with Maddy Bartsch, Wax Hand Craft with Fun Jumps Entertainment, Inc., Make your own Bolo Tie station, Permanent Jewelry by Sneaky Link for Purchase, Pop up performances in Mansion, Fiber Arts Demos, various food, drinks, and, of course, the curated cocktails.”
