Longest Dinner Table 2025

TABLES GO ON SALE FRIDAY 4/18 @ 10AM PST!

We're thrilled to gather once again to celebrate our wonderful community. This year, we're expanding the festivities to accommodate 120 tables, making it our longest table yet!

The evening promises to be a delightful affair with an epic potluck dinner serenaded by Boot Juice.

Like previous years, we'll be organizing individual tables of 6 guests. Secure your table by purchasing a ticket through Eventbrite until June 1st or until they sell out.

Remember: Only one person needs to buy the table and then it is up to you to fill it with 5 other people.

Best Table Contest:

We will continue the tradition of awarding the coveted “Best Table” award and epic Trophy for theme, decorations and energy! Get inspired by last year's winners by checking out our Instagram page. The Bakimis Design Group table, winners of the last two years, are the first inductees into the Longest Table Hall of Fame and will present the trophy to this year's winners.

This Year's Super Sweet Live Raffle Prize:

Stay tuned for this year's epic raffle prize.

Just like last year-- you simply buy a table using the instructions below:

Decide if you want to be a table leader. Can you rally 5 friends or family members and coordinate the meal and decorations? Great. Buy your table through this Eventbrite page. You're in charge of filling the seats at your own table.

Start creating the best table possible. Each table seats 6 people and is its own self-contained potluck so find 5 friends or family to join you. Each table leader should assign someone to an entree, appetizer, dessert, and/ or beverages. Also, please coordinate who will bring plates, cups, and cutlery.

Start emailing your friends and see if you can get someone else to take on that responsibility. We created a Facebook group where you can look for a few extra seats that another table might have or if you need to fill your table, find some guests to join you!

***Remember- We will provide the tables, chairs, and white tablecloths!***

What is the easiest way to do this event?

Order Take Out! Order from Yugen Cuisine, Thai on Ski Run, Artemis Lakefront Cafe, Riva Grill, Shangrila Himalayan Kitchen or another local establishment. Support local businesses and have less stress (and clean up)! We recommend calling well in advance.

Will there be an oven or another way to heat up food?

There won’t be any onsite ovens or heating equipment, so please plan to bring your food ready to serve at table temperature!

What do I need to bring?

Each table is responsible for its own food, drinks, plates, cups, cutlery, and decorations. Also, this is an outdoor dinner so dress in layers. Temps could range from 45-75 degrees.

What will be provided? (AKA, what do I not need to bring?)

We will provide tables, chairs, tablecloths, table lighting, garbage cans, music & fun!

What else can I do to help?

We’d love your support! If you’re available to help with setup, breakdown, or selling raffle tickets during the event, please let us know. Send us a message through our contact page or email us directly at bG9uZ2VzdGRpbm5lcnRhYmxlICEgc2x0IHwgZ21haWwgISBjb20=, and a member of our team will be in touch with more info.

Can I show up without a table assignment?

Unfortunately because every seat will be included in each table assignment, you will need to purchase a table or be invited by someone who bought a table. Every seat will be spoken for. Feel free to pass this eventbrite link on to friends who might not be on our list and ask them to join!

What else can(n't) I bring?

Kids are welcome!

With limited space, please leave pets at home, unless it's a certified service animal.

Biking to the event is highly encouraged!!! We will have bike racks thanks to the Lake Tahoe Bicycle Coalition. Bring a lock.
