The Midtown Table: Food, Stories & Community
Advertisement
Every neighborhood is made of stories—the people who shaped it, the places we remember, the meals that brought us together and the everyday moments that made Midtown feel like home.
Before Hatch Fest begins, we’re inviting Midtown residents, neighbors, artists, cooks, growers, business owners, community leaders and longtime friends of the neighborhood to pull up a chair for The Midtown Table: Food, Stories & Community.
This relaxed community gathering is an opportunity to remember, listen and share the people, places, meals, traditions and experiences that make Midtown what it is—and imagine the stories we want to carry forward.
Our new Made in Midtown–FLEET Creative Fellows will join us around the table to meet the community and listen for themes that may inspire future Kitchen Conversations and creative projects in the Made in Midtown Food Lab. Your voice can help shape what we explore together.
This isn’t a storytelling performance, and no public-speaking experience is needed. Sharing is always optional. You’re equally welcome to come listen, connect and help us remember Midtown together.
