Cocktails with the Pearsall's 2025: Harlem Nights Edition
Date: Saturday, December 20, 2025
Time: 7:00 PM – 12:00 AM
Location: The Pearsall Residence, Greensboro, NC
Theme: Harlem Nights – A Celebration of Black Excellence, Joy, & Holiday Glamour
Attire: Harlem Renaissance Fire
This is your night to shine. Step into the magic of the Harlem Renaissance — where jazz met elegance and every detail made a statement. Think roaring 20's revival: feathers, fringe, satin, velvet, pearls, fedoras, gloves, sequins, and silk.
Dress like you’re walking into a night at the Cotton Club — bold, confident, and timelessly chic.
Bring your grown and sexy energy and let your style tell its own story.
Tip: This isn’t about costume — it’s about vibe. Glamour, sophistication, and effortless Harlem flair.
