WILMINGTON — Food, drinks and community — exactly what nonprofit Feast Down East had in mind for its October event.
FDE’s Community Cultivator free event will be held Oct. 5 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. and will offer complimentary food from local farmers prepared by True Blue Events. The evening will also feature live music from Animal Lounge, raffle prizes and conversation with FDE staff, farmers, customers, partners and supporters.
Azalea Station in the Cargo District is hosting the event and offering 10% of all drink sale proceeds to the nonprofit.
“We are elated to gather with our community to enjoy delicious local food, live music and each other’s company,” Executive Director of Feast Down East Jordyn Appel-Hughes said in a press release. “The Community Cultivator is a celebration of our local food system and everyone who relies on it, while also educating attendees about the work of Feast Down East programs and mission to build a resilient community.”
Feast Down East supports local farmers and food access throughout Wilmington and Southeastern North Carolina. October’s event is a way to spread the message of its mission and education the public on its programs.
While there is no charge to attend, registration is encouraged here.
