Whalehead Centennial Anniversary Events

In 2025, Whalehead in Historic Corolla celebrates a century of elegance, history, and community. To honor its 100th anniversary, a special series of ticketed events will take place every Wednesday throughout October 2025, inviting guests to step back in time and experience Whalehead’s charm. The celebrations include intimate behind-the-scenes tours, refined high tea with croquet on the lawn, and enchanting pianist performances echoing through the historic halls. The festivities culminate on October 29th with a grand finale event. Enjoy the fall as we commemorate 100 years of Whalehead’s enduring legacy and the stories it continues to inspire. Guests are encouraged to dress for the era (not required), being mindful of the potential chilly weather. No spiked stilettos for the integrity of the cork floor.
