The menu is simple and hearty. We'll have vegan and gluten-free options and options for kiddos, too.
Guest Artist
Help us create a one-of-a-kind woven wall hanging for Lille Bonne!
This weekend, fiber artist Patty Fulton of Patty Fulton Studio will be on site with a large community weaving "loom", inviting everyone to become part of the creative process. No experience is necessary—simply stop by, weave a few strips, and help create a piece that reflects our community and will be installed at Lille Bonne.
Want to make it even more personal? Bring your own fabric to weave into the artwork! Colorful old sheets, clothing, leftover fabric, ribbon, or other textiles are all welcome. Cut fabric into strips about 1–2 inches wide before you come. Handmade embellishments like pom-poms, crocheted flowers, or small textile accents are welcome too.
Every piece added tells a story and becomes part of the finished artwork. We can't wait to see what you'll bring—and to create something beautiful together.
Community Partner
We'll be collecting donations of non-perishable food and sanitary items to fill our neighborhood little pantry from Community Food Box Project. We ask for healthy foods like grains, cans of beans, easy open items like granola bars Also pantry items like toothbrushes, travel size shampoo and soap etc
🎟️ This is a ticketed event, and space is limited, so reserve your spot now!
