The Longest Table, hosted by The City of Tallahassee, Leon County Government, The Village Square, and Leadership Tallahassee, is a free event that allows us to come together to break bread and have an honest discussion about our community over dinner at one continuous table. This Tallahassee tradition gives residents the opportunity to build and strengthen relationships across diverse communities to move our community forward together.

Last year 1,000 people gathered after Hurricane Michael, sharing conversations about our hometown. We are delighted to invite you to participate in the fifth year of this unique community event.

Free Admission, RSVP required by clicking here. Contact (850) 891-2000 for questions and more information. We hope to see you soon at The Longest Table! (#LongestTable)
