Dining in the Dark is Lighthouse Central Florida’s unique dining experience meant to offer an immersive encounter into a world of taste, smell, sound, and texture — all in total darkness.

This event illustrates the isolating condition that can result from vision loss. Guests are treated to a multi-course gourmet meal and are served by members of the Orlando Police Department’s SWAT team who navigate the pitch-black room outfitted in night-vision goggles. When the meal is finished, the lights slowly come up and diners offer revelatory, empathetic testimonials about their experience.

Your support of Dining in the Dark helps fund Lighthouse Central Florida's services, and impacts hundreds of people living with blindness and vision loss each year.
