Village Feast 2019_Ashley Muir Bruhn-58 1

(From press release) The 20th anniversary of The Village Feast is Sunday, Oct. 22 in Davis’ Central Park. The community meal that celebrates the region’s harvest is from noon to 4 p.m. under the shade of the Davis Farmers Market Pavilion, 301 C St.

Presented by Davis Farm to School and the Les Dames d’Escoffier International, Sacramento, The Village Feast is a fundraiser for food and agricultural education in the greater Sacramento area. The meal follows the late-summer feasts of Provence, France, in the grand aïoli tradition, uniting people and food for a long, leisurely alfresco meal.

As in years past, each meal begins with appetizers of olives, nuts, local wines and fresh baguettes. The meal is served family-style, with passed platters of heirloom tomatoes drizzled with local olive oil, steamed and grilled local vegetables, hard-boiled eggs, and bowls of garlic-scented aïoli. Next comes the grilled lamb and summer white bean salad, then a fruit galette for dessert.

Tickets are $165 per person until sold out. Attendees may reserve tables of eight for $1,320. Tickets are available at https://thevillagefeast2023.eventbrite.com.

The silent auction will be online, available to anyone. Bids open on Oct. 8 and close at 6 p.m. on Oct. 22. It includes dozens of items and experiences donated by chefs, restaurants, wineries and community members. Participants bid on items by downloading the free Auctria smartphone app at https://www.auctria.com/blog/auctria-mobile-app/.

    How ironic that the organizers can use this free open forum to publicize a relatively elite food event in this demonstrably public food space.
    I look forward to seeing who amongst our elected officials and other equity branded people are foolish enough to show up.

    You should show up at the entrance table with a giant eyeball, a camera, and a clipboard.

    I’m not involved with this event at all, but as a guy that has volunteered to work at dozens of events like this that raise money for poor people I hope Tuvia will understand that events like this are great way to get rich people to come out and learn about the work charities do and donate money. As much as I’m not a fan of politicians they will often let volunteers know who might be interested in making some big donations. I’m not a Sutter Club member and since it is “not my scene” I would tend to avoid the place but chatting with a guy before a fundraiser I was working at in the Sutter Club resulted in getting introduced to another guy that is now donating $10K a year.
