Due to unprecedented demand, due to a very long waiting list, and due to the general insanity of organizers Seana Gaherin (Dunn Gaherins Pub) and Christopher Osborn (Better Life Foods) we’ve just decided to increase the attendance for this year’s Feast of The Falls on June 26 from 350 to 400 seats. At this rate it won’t be too many years before we run out of aqueduct.
The Feast Of The Falls is a truly spectacular event. A gourmet catered feast for (now) 400 people sitting at one very long, very well appointed table. Tableside service is provided by the VIP Servers, a Whos Who team of elected local officials, local business owners, and neighborhood celebrities. This Upper Falls annual event all takes place on the grassy aqueduct on the far side of Echo Bridge in Hemlock Gorge.
Most of those seats will be filled with Upper Falls residents but we have reserved 25 tickets for anyone who’d like to join the party, These 25 tickets can be purchased for $40/each and will help underwrite the entire event.
So come join our party. You won’t be disappointed Click here to purchase tickets. More info at FeastOfTheFalls.org
sounds like this event will in the longterm compete with the Mayor’s prayer breakfast. Maybe you can get the mayor to change his date/venue?
If you don’t live in Upper Falls but would love to come to the Feast, we still have a few remaining tickets available. As Amazon says ….. Buy Now
In case anybody wants to get in the mood, there’s this and this.
There are still a few general tickets ($40) available for this Sunday’s Feast of the Falls. Don’t miss it. It’s an amazing event, with fabulous food, that you won’t soon forget.
We just got a few returned tickets so its not too late to join us for tomorrow’s (Sunday) Feast of the Falls. The weather should be perfect. The menu looks delicious and the Upper Falls piano will be moved to Hemlock Gorge for some after dinner singing around the piano. Click here for tickets..
It’s not often one gets a chance to share their dinner table with 400 neighbors and friends, especially in a place as beautiful as Hemlock Gorge.
Man-o-man what a Feast it was. The weather was perfect. The food was amazing. The Upper Falls piano got plenty of use, and more guests than ever – 400!
Special shout outs to newcomers on the VIP server crew – Scott Lennon, Ruthanne Fuller, Scott Gregorian, Billy Meleady, Nancy Hyde and Lily Reynolds. And also to 4 timer Ruth Balser who’s been on our team from the first year.
Christopher Osborn, Seana Gaherin, and their team once again wow’ed everyone with their gourmet cooking in a mobile kitchen in Hemlock Gorge. Most nervy award goes to them both for trying an untried recipe on 400 people – cooler corn. Put 400 ears of corn in a giant cooler, fill it with boiling water, seal tight for 45 minutes, slather with butter, mmm delicious.
It’s my favorite night of the year. Eternal thanks to the 75 or so people who made this happen. Everyone from the Dunn Gaherins prep crew, the Better Life Food crew, the folks who showed up in the blazing sun this afternoon to set up 50 tables and 400 chairs and string a 1/2 mile of electrical cables and lights, the hospitality crew,who checked in and guided everyone, to the Runners, to the VIP Servers, the piano players, the kitchen crew, to our celebrity waiters, and most especially to the folks who stuck around afterwards to break it all down in the dark – THANK YOU!!!!
If you missed it this year, you have to come next year. You have never seen anything quite like the Feast of the Falls – we got a thing going on.
