What is Dîner en Vert?
A pop-up gala with the goal of celebrating community sustainability and our newest project - the HEART Kitchen!
Our event will showcase amazing sustainable, plant-based food, and ways in which to foster green and sustainable communities. It will also highlight the work being done by these two non-profits in our community, in partnership with others. And will raise funds for the HEART Kitchen - a community kitchen where everyone has a seat at the table.
Guests are asked to wear summer garden party attire featuring the color green. To add to the excitement, our event location is up to YOU! That's right. This year guests will surprise US with their green-minded creativity. And don't forget the fun 'get out and about' scavenger hunt around Phoenixville.
It will be an event full of surprise, celebration, amazing eats, and green-minded fun!
How It Works
- Delicious vegan treats in the form of a take-home vegan dinner, comprised of small plates from four local restaurants that they can heat up and enjoy at home
- The chance to dress up (in 'green-minded' attire) and compete for 'Best Dressed' in our green-wear competition
- This year with three categories: Best Male, Best Female, and Best Family Attire
- An exciting scavenger hunt within the Borough of Phoenixville (with some surprise guest appearances along the way) that ends with a professional photo shoot (in your green apparel) and a take home bag of goodies (including your dinner to go)!
- Some champagne to enjoy at sunset with us via Zoom at 8:15PM for our annual toast to the Summer Solstice!
- A chance to WOW us with YOUR surprise location by turning a corner of your home, garden, driveway, garage (...get creative) into your own Dîner en Vert. Show us YOUR GREEN and how you dine in style - in a green-minded way, of course. There are prizes for the most creative set ups!
- An awesome online auction
- A chance to support your local small businesses AND the work of Ann's Heart.
We are getting ready to launch the HEART Kitchen - a community teaching kitchen with the goal of providing educational programming, community supported meals, and a place where EVERYONE has a seat at the table.
Show us your green at this year's Dîner en Vert!
Surprise & Celebration
This year we are 'turning the tables' on Dîner en Vert in two BIG ways!
First - we are taking Dîner en Vert VIRTUAL! Don't worry - even without a big gala style event, we have plenty of green-minded fun and surprise in store.
Second - we are putting YOU in the driver's seat and letting YOU add some surprise to our event.
