Reservations are $70, $100 at the door. All proceeds support the Otto Kahn Awards Program for high school students from Huntington who are continuing their education in the performing arts, music or fine arts.

At the Garden Party, Friends of OHEKA is honoring Gary Melius on his 30th anniversary of purchasing OHEKA Castle. We are also celebrating a milestone for the Otto Kahn Awards program that began in 2003. To date, over $100,000 has been raised at the Garden Party in partnership with Gary Melius and awarded to deserving students by Friends of OHEKA, carrying on Otto Kahn’s tradition of supporting struggling artists in the early 20th century.  Last year, seven talented high school students were awarded $2,500.

Friends of OHEKA , Inc. is dedicated to the protection, preservation and public awareness of OHEKA Castle, a monument to a bygone era and a testament to Huntington’s commitment to historic preservation.
