MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S GREEN FUNDRAISING FARM-TO-TABLE DINNER IS BACK FOR 2026!
Picture a long harvest table set beneath the mountain sunset. Every course influenced by food that is grown, raised, or crafted within arm’s reach of town: vibrant greens and heirloom vegetables pulled from nearby soil that morning, pasture-raised meats from family farms. In 2026 the evening was curated and cooked by Chef Jimmy of Arrowhead Catering. Each bite is enhanced by Revelstoke-made craft beer or small-batch spirits, so the flavors of the land carry straight through to the glass.
WHEN: Saturday, August 15th 2026 5:30pm
WHERE: A local Revelstoke property worth celebrating (location disclosed to attendees closer to the date).
TRANSPORTAION: Bike or Revy Rides.
COST: $125
WHATS INCLUDED: Arrival cocktail + crudite, 3 course meal & table wine, live music, raffle & local food experience.
Vegetarian, Gluten Free, Dairy Free and Nut Free dietary restrictions can be accommodated.
Lets toast the land that sustains us, and taste what “local” truly means.
