History Lover’s Holiday Gala
The History Lover’s Holiday Gala, which will take place at Draper Mercantile in Dublin on Dec. 8, will feature delicious food, drinks, and incredible music. This gala will celebrate the holiday season and raise funds for the Wilderness Road Regional Museum.
While the food and drink are Santa-approved, music is also on the agenda, as Simple Gifts of the Blue Ridge will perform during the event.
Union 41
Union 41 in Bristol is an exceptional culinary experience, so it is no surprise that the restaurant has designed a holiday event like no other.
During the Christmas season, guests can reserve a heated igloo in which to dine and celebrate the holidays. The festive igloos seat up to six people and must be reserved in advance.
The 90-minute dining experience begins Dec. 6 and is the brainchild of owner Chef T, who transforms fresh ingredients into a gourmet dining occasion in a unique setting that celebrates the season.
