Tecumseh Is Getting Its Regency Era Moment – And You’re Invited

April 18. Downtown Tecumseh. 10am – 5pm.

If you’ve been secretly watching Bridgerton and wishing you could actually live it for a day – this is your moment.

The Regency Boulevard Social Tecumseh is taking over downtown on Saturday, April 18, and it’s genuinely one of the most fun things to happen here in a while. Think: a full day of outdoor games, live music, a community picnic, a costume contest (yes, the Queen will allegedly be in attendance), and of course – the shops.

Here’s what’s happening, so you can plan your day.

The Schedule (So You Don’t Miss a Thing)

All Day:
Croquet on the green. A Boulevard Scavenger Hunt using the Goosechase app – winner takes home a Regency gift basket. Boulevard Bingo (grab your card at participating merchant locations) with a gift card basket up for grabs. And the shops themselves, of course, all open and ready for you to browse.

11:00 AM – 12:00 PM:
The Filibusters – Tecumseh High School’s traveling string quintet – will be serenading the downtown streets while you stroll. There’s something genuinely delightful about shopping to live music.

12:30 PM – 1:30 PM:
Community Picnic at Adams Park (right next to City Hall), with a string quartet playing. Pack a blanket. Linger. This is the part where you talk to people you’d normally just nod at.

1:00 PM:
Costume Contest registration opens at Adams Park.

1:30 PM – 2:00 PM:
The Regency Costume Contest kicks off. Regency-inspired attire is encouraged but never required. The prize? Two tickets to The Stacy Mansion Afternoon Tea – worth showing up in a bonnet for.

3:00 PM – 4:00 PM:
The Filibusters return for one more round of downtown serenading.

The Full Weekend at Stacy Mansion

If you want to make a full weekend of it, The Stacy Mansion is adding their own programming:

• Friday: Grand Garden Promenade
• Saturday evening: Open Season Ball
• Sunday afternoon: The Afternoon Society Tea

Worth checking their calendar if you want the whole Regency experience.

Plan Your Visit

Downtown Tecumseh is walkable, parking is easy, and the shops are genuinely worth your time – not just as backdrop, but as the actual destination. Browse first, then picnic, then stay for the contest.

Gloves optional. Good company required.
