Day 183: Farm to Fork Gala Dinner
The final event in this year's Farm to Fork Festival is a Gala Dinner that takes place on the Tower Bridge:
The Gala serves as the Farm-to-Fork Celebration’s finale, with hundreds of diners enjoying a locally sourced dinner on the Tower Bridge. Guests at the family-style dinner will be treated to a feast prepared by more than 30 top area chefs, led by Chef Jason Poole of the Hyatt Regency Sacramento and Chef Brian Mizner of Hook & Ladder. Proceeds from the dinner go directly to fund the free Farm-to-Fork Festival on September 27th on Capitol Mall.
My running route this morning was around Raley Field in West Sacramento, so I saw some of the initial set-up for the dinner near the Bridge and also along the Promenade near Embassy Suites, which apparently is the location for dessert.
Here's a photo of the first Farm to Fork dinner from last year:
I'm sure it's a lovely event, and I'm very glad the proceeds go to support the free Festival that happened yesterday on Capitol Mall. I actually rather like the fact that the roadway gets closed down for a person-centric event and that cars (and their drives) have to find an alternate route for several hours this evening. What a great way to utilize the community space and truly celebrate our region!
