Harvest Dinner 2026

The W. Galen Weston Centre for Food and Barrett Centre of Innovation in Sustainable Urban Agriculture at Durham College (DC) are pleased to announce the 2026 Harvest Dinner, our annual signature event where guests come together for a dining experience under the stars.

This year’s event will be guided by Bistro ‘67's Executive Chef, Raul Sojo, and will showcase the work of DC's students, staff and faculty. The college’s horticulture and food and farming students have tended to and harvested the fields, and will work side-by-side with students from the culinary and hospitality programs to execute an evening in celebration of the Weston Centre’s field-to-fork philosophy.

This event will take place outside rain or shine.
