Excitement is building this week for the Dinner on the Bridge, Greentopia’s first gala fundraiser. Greentopia has offered many free events in the past, and this fundraiser will help it continue to offer them in the future. Come July 16 (or the 17th if it rains Thursday) 200 people will share a farm-to-fork dinner concocted by dynamic chefs from seven local restaurants.
As far as can be determined, this will be the first time a dining event has been held on the Pont du Rennes Bridge, high above the Genesee River.
The sold-out event includes entertainment in the form of strolling musicians and a light show on High Falls, sampling of wines, beer and liquor from local beverage companies, and desserts by three local sweets makers. Proceeds will help fuel the Greentopia operating budget.
For those who couldn’t afford the freight ($200 a seat for this historic event,) stay tuned, says Greentopia co-founder Michael A. Philipson. There will be future fundraisers and many more free events.
