Dagnabbit!

 

Our final Dinner of the year, the Feast of the Seven Fishes Dinner, will have to be rescheduled because of a “scheduling conflict”.  The new date for the Feast of the Seven Fishes Dinner is now Friday, 5 January 2024.

 

This Italian American tradition, The Feast of the Seven Fishes, is an Italian Christmas tradition stretching back to the old country. It is celebrated on Christmas Eve each year. In Italy, the meal is known as Festa Dei Sette Pesci, or, more simply, La Vigilia. This celebration commemorates the wait, the Vigilia di Natale, for the midnight birth of the baby Jesus. The long tradition of eating seafood on Christmas Eve dates to the early Roman times.  This dinner is entirely composed of Sea food and freshwater fish, except for the dessert.

 

And though many in world celebrate Christmas Day on the 25th of December, over 250 million people celebrate Christmas Day on the 6th of January making this scheduling change an appropriate date for the dinner.

 

So start the New Year off right by joining us for The Feast of the Seven Fishes Dinner on Friday, 5 January 2024!
