The event, which raised money for Dolly's Dream, a charity established in memory of Katherine teenager Dolly Everett, was held in the Katherine Museum's gardens on Saturday, with attendees urged to wear their best "lunch whites."
Co-Founder of Dolly's Dream and Dolly's mum Kate Everett said the event provided a chance for Katherine to get dressed up and do something different.
"It's Katherine and the excuses to do something beautiful like a long white luncheon are few and far between," she said.
"We wanted to change it up from what we'd usually be doing to include some more people."
The event featured a two course meal, live entertainment and a raffle.
Dreaming under the Sun was a variation on Dreaming Under the stars, which skipped a year in 2020.
Ms Everett said all of the money raised from the event will go towards the Dolly's Dream Support Line, which provides free mental health care over the phone.
"Basically it will be converted into free hours of mental health support," she said.
"Whether that's a family or parent or children themselves calling, it will be there for whoever needs it."
