We’re kicking off Feastival with an opening night dinner for our longtime friends and supporters. Enjoy five incredible courses from KC’s finest chefs and raise a paddle to fund our hunger-fighting initiatives. We’ve got special surprises in store and, of course, can’t-miss photo opportunities. It will be a night to remember, so give in and give big because we’re on a mission to eradicate hunger in our community.
Tickets will be on sale beginning June 1!
The Feastival Opening Night dinner includes admission to the festival on Friday, August 18 with the feastivities beginning with a cocktail hour at 6 p.m. Join Harvesters for drinks, chef-made appetizers and a five-course small plates dinner at Union Station with sommelier selected wine pairings, right in the Feastival Hall!
