Dining in the Dark is one of our most popular events on the calendar. This unique dining experience is co-hosted with our partner, Second Harvest Food Bank, and is meant to offer an immersive experience into a world of smell, taste, sound and texture--all in total darkness!

The event also illustrates the isolating condition that can result from vision loss and chronic hunger. Diners are treated to a multi-course, gourmet meal prepared by professional chefs and are served by members of the Orlando police Department’s SWAT team—who navigate the pitch-black room outfitted in night-vision goggles. After dinner the lights slowly come up and diners offer telling, empathetic, testimonials about their experience.
