Spring is the perfect time to get to know your new neighbors. And what better way to meet people than with a community meal? After a successful debut last year, The Longest Table Vienna is returning for its second annual potluck.

On Saturday, May 9, 500 community members will gather along the Vienna Town Green on Mill Street SE to share a meal. The free, public event will be held from noon to 2 p.m.

Registration for the event opens on Monday, April 6, and closes on Monday, April 20. Diners can reserve up to four seats for their group. After registration closes, the table captain for your section will reach out to coordinate details including what dishes to bring and where to park.

The event is still looking for about 25 more table captain volunteers to help coordinate details. And while the event is limited to 500 people, overflow guests are welcome to set up a picnic at the Vienna Town Green.
