The Chaine du Vermont presents Bastille Day Fête | Common Roots Benefit

On Thursday, July 14, Common Roots, Vermont Wine Merchants, Catering By Dale Events and The Chaine du Vermont will host The 2nd Annual Bastille Day at All Souls Interfaith Gathering in Shelburne VT. Celebrate the many pleasures of the table while raising money to bolster the increased demand for fresh, locally grown organic produce at two local food shelves. 

Tickets are $200 and all proceeds from ticket sales for this Vermont-inspired multi-course meal, French wine pairings, and entertainment will support The Common Roots mission. 

“Our community has come together to create a dynamic event to help us strengthen food security for our friends and neighbors in need," said Carol McQuillen, executive director of Common Roots. “Partnering with The Chaine du Vermont," we will throw a spectacular celebration of life, love, and meaningful purpose. This is a meal with a mission!”
 
Historically, Bastille Day marks the start of The French Revolution and represents a call for Liberty and Equity for all. Amid today's chaotic and turbulent landscape we see this event as an opportunity to celebrate unity as we invite EVERYONE to gather together and break bread in solidarity. Food not only nourishes us but sustains our health and wellbeing. Now more than ever, food is a social instrument and a connector of people in communion.

The event is co-sponsored by the Chaîne des Rôtisseurs, a world-renowned gastronomic association. With roots tracing back to 12th Century France. From celebrations to competitions, culinary masterpieces, and conviviality, We welcome everyone to the table!
