On Saturday, Nov. 14, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., downtown Lakeland will become the site of a Longest Table event with 81 tables wrapped around Munn Park, offering a chance to sit and dine with the community.
The event is organized by CoHatch, the shared office and meeting space at 211 Main St. and is free for all to attend. Anyone can sit down and enjoy food offered by the table captains. Reservations are encouraged.
“Hosting this event, our intent and purpose is to bring community together and enjoy each other’s company,” said Adriana Eraso, event co-chair and CoHatch market manager. “When we reached out to LDDA and to the city of Lakeland with the idea, and they were on board, we were absolutely thrilled.”
Every guest is asked to bring one personal-care item for VISTE’s homebound seniors.
“I think it’s just really natural that you care more when you know your neighbor,” Eraso said.
The Longest Table is the final event in Polk County’s Arts & Health Week celebrating the connection between the arts and physical, mental and community wellbeing. The event will include a downtown mural scavenger hunt with a prize of two round-trip tickets to one family provided by Avelo Airlines as well as performances by Academy Prep, Lkld Lindy Hop’s swing dancers, Uno, Dos, Tres dance troupe, finishing with a performance by Jazz Hamilton.
