ALPENA — Tickets are on sale now for the Victorian Tea being held May 17 at Trinity Episcopal Church in Alpena.

The 34th Victorian Tea will be held in one seating this year, from 2 to 4 p.m. on Saturday, May 17 at the church, 124 E. Washington Ave., Alpena.

Tickets are $20 per adult, and $10 per child, ages 10 and younger. A limited number of tickets are available. For tickets, call the church office at 989-356-0576, or stop in the office from 1 to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday, or from 1 to 3 p.m. Friday.

Guests are encouraged to dress in Victorian attire, but dressing up is not required. Many people enjoy donning their fanciest hat, and some even wear full Victorian dresses or skirts, as well as lace or satin gloves.

A variety of sweet and savory treats are served, as well as your choice of tea in beautiful porcelain tea cups.

The volunteers who work at the Victorian Tea will be dressed as maids and butlers to serve you throughout the event, which will feature two flavors of tea and a very long table full of delicate and delicious finger foods, both sweet and savory.

There will also be a hat shop as in prior years, and a tea shop downstairs, featuring a variety of unique items for guests to peruse before and after the tea time.

Proceeds from the Victorian Tea will go toward outreach programs at Trinity Episcopal Church.
