Tickets will soon be available for the “Longest Table” epicurean gala put on by WUSF Public Media. The event features a table that stretches all the way from the Vinoy hotel to the Museum of Fine Arts along with a fantastic dinner. It will be held on March 30 and the event regularly sells out to capacity. Tickets are already on sale for WUSF members.
WUSF’s Longest Table
WUSF’s Longest Table is an annual fundraiser that benefits WUSF Public Media. Guests can select now from a wide range of amazing restaurants. The event will close Bayshore Drive, and a table will stretch from the Vinoy hotel to the Museum of Fine Arts with upwards of 1,000 people. Chefs from each restaurant then serve a gourmet four-course meal paired with fine wines to their segment of the table.
All funds raised go to support public broadcasting along Florida’s Gulf Coast, including the National Public Radio station WUSF 89.7 which broadcasts shows such as “Morning Edition” and “Wait Wait, Don’t Tell Me,” as well as Florida’s classical music station, WSMR 89.1 and 103.9.
