One Region, One Table returns for its third year at and some prominent chefs and El Paso expatriates will be pulling up a chair.
The third annual fundraiser produced by Progress321, showcases the unique culinary talent of the region with a sumptuous six-course dinner under the stars at the Pedestrian Pathway, located on the west side of Santa Fe Street between the Judson F. Williams Convention Center and Southwest University Park.
The event is set for 6 p.m. Friday, October 26th.
The event is one of the highlights of the first El Paso Everywhere, a homecoming event from October 25-27, which will bring back more than 20 former El Pasoans to connect with people and projects that are transforming their hometown.
Organized by Progress 321, an organization of young professionals, the homecoming will introduce the expats to El Paso’s best entertainment and culinary experiences, offer intimate access to community leaders, and include behind-the-scenes tours of new and exciting projects around our region.
