The Gathering

The Gathering is a day-long bespoke luxury event at Doris Duke’s spectacular estate, Rough Point.

This elite garden party offers the best food and beverages that Rhode Island and New England have to offer, as well as custom automobile marques, luxury lifestyle brands, new car unveilings, celebrities, and more!

Guests will enjoy complementary food and drink while soaking in Rough Point’s sprawling iconic landscape with panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean.

Rough Point is a historic house museum with an extensive collection of fine arts, experienced today largely as it was lived in during the lifetime of its most famous owner, the heiress, philanthropist, and preservationist Doris Duke (1912-1993).
