(Press Release) Loxahatchee, FL - Swank Specialty Produce is thrilled to announce the schedule for its highly anticipated 2024/25 Swank Table series, featuring ten extraordinary al fresco dinners set on the picturesque Swank Farm. This season kicks off on Sunday, November 3rd, with a vibrant "Day of the Dead" celebration and continues through April with a variety of themed culinary events that highlight the rich flavors and traditions from around the world. Each Swank Table dinner is a feast for the senses, where renowned chefs from South Florida and beyond collaborate to create unforgettable, multi-course meals. Guests will enjoy a refreshing welcome cocktail, an array of appetizers, and a delectable five-course plated dinner beneath the farm’s rustic pole barn while listening to live music from some of the region's favorite bands. Every event contributes to a local charity, adding a meaningful layer to this exceptional dining experience. This season, Swank welcomes an impressive lineup of talented chefs and several new themes, including “Champagne & Caviar Dreams ‘80s Pajama Party," “A Tribute to Alice Waters” and “Louisiana Blues.” Themed events have become a hallmark of the Swank Table series, with guests fully embracing the experience by dressing up to match the evening's theme, creating a lively and immersive atmosphere. Whether channeling the 1970s with groovy attire, dressing in all white, or wearing a cowboy hat and boots for the ho-down, the creativity and enthusiasm of attendees add a unique flair to each event. This year also marks the return of Swank's "Infused: A Cannabis Dinner,” a unique event showcasing cannabis grown at Swank Farms.
Swank Table dinners are a celebration of local purveyors and Florida agriculture. Each menu showcases the finest ingredients sourced from Swank Farm and neighboring farms, ensuring that every bite reflects the region's rich agricultural heritage.
