Red Clay Soirée

A benefit dinner for Community Farmers Markets


Community Farmers Markets is bringing back this beloved gala on Friday, November 14. 7-10 pm

Red clay connects us all. It's the foundation from which Georgia farmers grow and nourish the community. The Soirée celebrates this by highlighting the best of the Atlanta food movement in an exciting and elegant setting. Meet and sample the superb work of top farmers, farm-to-table chefs, and bartenders.

The spirit of Community Farmers Markets - tasty delights, unique entertainment, and farm-inspired decor - will grace the Summerour Studio for one night only. Guests’ taste buds will be greeted with oysters and bubbly, followed by a cocktail and canapés reception, a farm-fresh seated dinner, and a selection of delectable desserts. Live and silent auctions will feature unique items and once-in-a-lifetime experiences. There will be a myriad of activities and surprises, including our infamous photo booth. The Red Clay Soirée is every locavore’s dream!
