The Experience
Picture this: a warm September evening. A table set in navy and white, exactly like every other table around you. A location so beautiful you'd never guess you could dine there, because most nights, you can't.
CONTACT Al Fresco is an elevated pop-up dinner experience, inspired by the world-famous Dîner en Blanc tradition and reimagined for our own South Jersey community.
Here's how the magic works: the location stays a secret until the day before the event, when every ticket holder receives the reveal. Then, on the night itself, you'll arrive to find a stunning, normally off-limits space transformed by hundreds of matching navy-and-white tables.
You bring your own table, chairs, dinnerware, and a beautiful meal to share with your guest. We bring the mystery, the atmosphere, and a community of neighbors coming together for one incredible night.
It's part flash mob, part garden party, part secret society, and entirely unlike anything else happening in South Jersey this fall.
And while the night is all about elegance, community, and a little bit of magic, it's also in support of something quietly powerful: every ticket helps fund CONTACT Cape-Atlantic's daily reassurance calls to isolated seniors and neighbors across our region.

Dine, mingle, and celebrate an evening that only happens once a year

FAQs
-
A small table for two, a card table or bistro table around 2 feet by 2 feet works perfectly, along with two chairs, a tablecloth, dinnerware and glassware, and a beautiful meal and drink to share with your guest, all in keeping with the elegant navy-and-white aesthetic.

Navy and white, top to bottom, think elegant and coordinated, not costume-y. This is a dress-to-impress event.
-
Tickets are sold as a pair, so your purchase covers two seats and you'll want to have your guest picked out before you reserve. We're not able to match you with another guest, so bring a friend, partner, or family member along.
