Special Events
Periwinkle’s special events are so spectacular thanks to the creativity and support of hundreds of volunteers and event attendees! Help bring these special events to life from planning to day-of coordination and help! Each event has a different feel, and some may be more appropriate for older audiences. Generally, Periwinkle Gala, Iron Bartender, and Iron Sommelier volunteers must be at least 21 years old.
