Tickets for Community Table Dinner Go on Sale Monday August 3, Benefiting Dundee Library

This year's farm-to-table fundraiser celebrates America250 and take places at the Outlet Trailhead in Penn Yan on September 12^th. 

PENN YAN, N.Y.  — Tickets for the 2026 Community Table Dinner go on sale Monday, August 3rd at 9:00 a.m., on the Yates County Chamber of Commerce website. This year's event will benefit the Dundee Library, and takes place Saturday, September 12th at 5:00 p.m. at The Landing on the Keuka Outlet Trailhead in Penn Yan, a location that can guarantee the event takes place in Downtown Penn Yan Historic District, rain or shine. 

The Community Table Dinner is an elaborate five-course, farm-to-table, family-style meal prepared by a team of local chefs and paired with local beverage producers. Guests gather around a custom-built communal table for an evening that celebrates local farmers, producers, and each other. Everything, right down to the floral arrangements, is grown locally. The event is sustainably run with zero plates, utensils, or plastic, and Finger Lakes Compost helps to minimize any waste.

Since the event's launch in 2019, the Community Table Dinner has raised more than $71,000 for local nonprofits, including Keuka Advocacy Services, The Living Well, Our Town Rocks, the Yates County Community Center, Penn Yan Theatre Company, and the Outlet Trail. This year, proceeds will go toward supporting the Dundee Library.
This year's dinner also coincides with America's 250th birthday, and the menu will draw inspiration from 250 years of American culinary tradition, reimagined through what grows right here in the Finger Lakes. Menu details will be announced in the coming weeks.
