Why
The independent food businesses we love don't just feed our communities. They help shape them. Proceeds from this event directly support Akitso's mission of empowering independent food entrepreneurs with the design, branding, and strategy needed to build lasting neighborhood institutions.
Independent food businesses contribute to our local culture. Here's a night to help cultivate it!
