On behalf of Pop-Up Augusta, Garden City Jazz, and The Red Currant Events, we are grateful for your presence at yesterday's Progressive Dinner.
The team has presented White Dinner events (pop-up dinner parties in secret locations) since 2016 & incorporated Progressive Dinners (each course at a different location) annually since 2018. Each year presents a unique set of opportunities, and this was our first one al fresco, featuring some of our downtown public art.
We are always seeking out new experiences to share and would love to hear feedback. Until next time, enjoy a few features from the 2021 Progressive White Dinner.
