You won’t want to miss this unique opportunity to taste the delicious hors d’oeuvres each restaurant has crafted from their own food scraps! These inventive bites will show just how creative and tasty sustainability can be.

Tickets are $10, with a discount for earthday365 members, and include your first drink from Olive + Oak.

Let’s raise a glass to circularity, innovation, and good food!
