Roaring 20's Come to Life at Glamorous Grand Opening of Hayes Barton

Roaring Twenties Come to Life at Glamorous Grand Opening of Hayes Barton Place Senior Living Community in Raleigh

Luxury Senior Living Community Celebrates Its Arrival with Great Gatsby-Themed Celebration

RALEIGH, NC — It was an event of grandeur, glamour, and Gatsby-style glitz as Hayes Barton Place, Raleigh’s new luxury senior living community, celebrated its much-anticipated grand opening. First opening its doors in January, the community formally introduced itself to the public and its community partners with an unforgettable event inspired by the roaring twenties — a nod to the opulence, elegance, and timeless energy of the Great Gatsby era.

The event was a dazzling spectacle of elevated entertainment. Guests were welcomed by towering golden ladies on stilts at the entrance, setting the tone for an immersive and theatrical experience. Inside, attendees were captivated by Gatsby bubble dancers gliding through the pool in inflated globes, beautiful butterfly ballerinas with flowing ribbon wings, and a charming “bubble belle” serving fluted champagne from a rolling skirt. Live music filled the air, accompanying guests as they enjoyed exquisite delicacies and sipped celebratory cocktails.
