Event Name:
Longest Table
Description
On September 25, the Longest Table welcomes 700 residents to sit down for a free meal in a welcoming environment with people they may not know, to foster stronger connections and exchange ideas.
​
Our theme in 2025 will collaboratively explore the interconnections between education and industry and their impact on the community’s well-being and future. The importance of connection, discussion, relationships, and community have never been more important.

The Longest Table will provide space for residents to exchange stories and share ideas about what we can do as a community to ensure that educational programs prepare individuals for meaningful careers, the economy supports local livelihoods, and industries are responsive to community needs..
