Experience a unique outdoor dining celebration in Wheeling Park, marking 100 years of community and connection. As the sun sets, the iconic Wheeling Park drive will transform into a beautiful dining space illuminated by the warm glow of festoon lights, with vibrant up lighting highlighting the park’s century-old trees.
The evening begins with welcome cocktails, whimsical stilt walkers dressed as towering trees, and live-action food stations serving up crispy fried vegetables, grilled chicken on a stick, and shrimp and pineapple skewers. Enjoy a refreshing twist with a watermelon in a cone. Each station offers bold flavors and interactive dining, creating a fun and flavorful experience.
Guests will then gather at long, communal tables, beautifully set for a family-style feast featuring summer-inspired salads, house-baked breads, a low-country boil and mouthwatering barbecue. As the evening unfolds, enjoy live music and let the park come alive with entertainment, creating an unforgettable celebration under the stars.
