Le Festin DesPrés is a benefit evening celebrating the flavors, craftsmanship, and riches of our region. For this edition, the festival invites Catherine Hardy to create a meal inspired by seasonal products and the work of local producers. Conceived as a meeting point between gastronomy, culture, and community, this meal honors those who cultivate, harvest, and transform the food that nourishes us.
The $225 ticket provides access to the benefit dinner as well as all evening activities. An opportunity to support Pour la suite du monde while sharing an exceptional moment.
Under the honorary presidency of actress Pascale Bussières, this exceptional evening, in the heart of Sutton, will bring together artists, creators, partners, and culture enthusiasts.
Starting at 5:30 PM, we invite you to a guided tour of the exhibition Alliances terrestres, which brings together 18 visual artists.
The Festin will be followed by a contemporary circus performance presented by the duo Lorbleu, at 8:30 PM.
At nightfall, a grand bonfire will blaze to the rhythm of Stéphane Cocke‘s turntables, while our friends from La Réserve naturelle will offer a selection of their finest wines throughout the evening.
