Flappers and fedoras were plentiful as members of the Bird Key Yacht Club welcomed in 2023 and said goodbye to 2022 with a bash worthy of Gatsby himself.

Members danced the final hours of 2022 away to the sounds of Jelly Roll Jazz after enjoying a spectacular feast prepared by the BKYC culinary team and a visit to the BKYC Speakeasy. A prime view of the midnight fireworks over Sarasota Bay capped off the evening.
