First Annual
Dining in the Dark
An Experience for the Senses
Join us at our first annual Dining in the Dark experience that includes an interactive dinner, silent auction, and hand-on stations where you can step into the shoes of a Lighthouse client and learn basic skills for independence while enjoying an optional blindfolded dinner. This immersive experience is designed to heighten your senses and challenge your perception of taste, texture, and aroma.
Dining in the Dark benefits Lighthouse of Pinellas programs and our mission to advance the independence and quality of life for individuals in Pinellas County who are blind or visually impaired.
