The dinner was to celebrate MILLY’s curated collection showcased at the property’s boutique August 1-8, in partnership with The Surf Lodge founder and creative director Jayma Cardoso. Guests dined on seafood towers, tuna sashimi and burrata starters, roasted halibut and NY strip steak while enjoying signature cocktails against the stunning backdrop of The Surf Lodge.

On Saturday, August 5, MILLY took over the famous Surf Lodge Brunch and come evening time, sponsored the DJ set as well.

This year’s Milly event was composted with the help of the East Hampton Compost– a pilot program to bring composting to the East End. Fifty-five lbs worth of vegetable peels, watermelon rinds, and coffee grounds used to prepare the dinner were saved and donated to the local East Hampton High School garden. Normally, discarded food goes to the landfill, where it sits and emits methane (a toxic pollutant and primary driver of global warming). But on this Surf Lodge summer evening with MILLY, the unused food was part of a solution, not the problem. Making compost as chic, fashionable and fun as MILLY’s Summer 2023 collection.
