The two-day event highlights creative table designs by local designers, decorators and event planners, transforming the mansion’s historic rooms into displays of imaginative entertaining and craftsmanship.

Historic Tuscaloosa has invited leading local creatives to prepare and present individual tables, each reflecting the designer’s personal style and vision.

Organizers said the designs will range from intimate dinner party settings to concepts suited for large-scale celebrations. Information about participating designers and contributors will be included in a printed program available to attendees.

“Timeless Tablescapes is about more than beautiful tables — it’s about creativity, collaboration and community,” Historic Tuscaloosa Executive Director William Hawkins said. “Last year’s response exceeded our expectations, and it was clear how much our guests enjoyed seeing the details up close and drawing inspiration for their own gatherings.”

The event is open to anyone interested in entertaining, design or historic settings, whether planning an elegant event or simply admiring fine china and creative tablescapes.

Admission is priced at $25, with tickets available at the door or online.

The event will be held on Saturday, Jan. 24 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Sunday, Jan. 25, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.

Tickets and additional event details are available online, and guests are encouraged to purchase tickets in advance. For more information, contact Historic Tuscaloosa at (205) 758-2238 or online.
