Ever played croquet? It’s wicket.

The 30th Annual Wicket World of Croquet will be held on the Benjamin Harrison Presidential Site’s south lawn on Saturday, Aug. 10 from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

You can test your skills on the croquet court during the competitive or leisure tournaments, or sit back and enjoy a day filled with food, drinks, and music at the Porch Party.

But it’s not just about the gameplay. Show off your impeccable style both on and off the field as the Presidential Site introduces the Best Dressed Prize, recognizing fashionable finalists in their finest game whites.

In celebration of its 30th year, there will also be a live art auction featuring five talented artists painting scenes from the day that you have the chance to take home.

This event will take place rain or shine and advance registration is required. General admission tickets are free and All Access Promenade Passes are $50.
