Gather: A Fall Long Table Event
One long table. Great food. Good company. A shared love of Kirkland.
Wednesday, October 21, 2026 | 6:00 PM
Copperworks Distilling, Kenmore
$200 per person
This fall, we're bringing together people who care about Kirkland for an evening of great food, meaningful conversation, and shared generosity.
Gather is an opportunity to connect with old friends, meet new ones, and celebrate what makes Kirkland such a special place to call home.
There will be great food and meaningful conversation, but what we're most excited about is simply bringing together people who care about this community, are invested in its future, and enjoy meeting others who feel the same way.
An Evening to Remember
A Seat at the Long Table
We'll gather around one beautifully set table, sharing stories, making connections, and enjoying an evening centered on community.
A Farm-to-Table Experience
Enjoy a seasonal three-course dinner prepared by De La Soil, featuring locally inspired ingredients and thoughtfully crafted dishes.
Cocktails & Conversation
Start the evening with appetizers, a hosted bar, and a specialty cocktail created just for Gather: the Kirkland Kool-Aid.
Laughter with Barbie Applegate
We're delighted to welcome Barbie Applegate as our emcee, bringing her humor, personality, and love of community to the evening.
An Opportunity to Give Back
Throughout the evening, we'll share a little about the Kirkland Community Foundation and the people, projects, and possibilities made possible through local generosity.
Guests will have an opportunity to raise their paddle in support of the Foundation's work and help make even more good things happen in Kirkland.
