The Community Table: A Celebration of Food, Art, and Connection
To celebrate the spirit of community and the vibrant new mural on our building, the Co-op invites you to join us for The Community Table – an outdoor picnic and potluck on Sunday, September 28, from 5–8 p.m.
This colorful work of art reflects the creativity and spirit of our neighborhood, and we’re gathering in its honor. Bring a picnic dinner or a dish to share, and enjoy a festive evening surrounded by food and friends.
Tables and seating will be set up along Dartmouth Avenue in front of the Co-op, transforming the street into one big shared table. As you eat and mingle, enjoy the lively sounds of Gumbo Nouveau, a band rooted in the rhythms of Caribbean and New Orleans jazz.
Tickets are $15 per seat and will be available on the Co-op website in early September. Space is limited, so be sure to save your spot at the table. In case of rain, the event will be held at the PAC Center.
