About this Event
On Thursday, March 6, celebrate International Women’s Day at our second annual all-inclusive night recognizing Dallas women’s talents and achievements, together with endless drinks and bites, of course!
Every year, Italy comes aglow with the golden blossoms of mimosas. The fragrant flowers are presented to women across the country in celebration of La Festa della Donna, International Women’s Day.
In 1977, the United Nations officially declared International Women’s Day and in Italy, with each mimosa blossom we are recognizing women’s economic, political, and social achievements over the last century, which have been sizable. Now, for the third year, we are thrilled to host Festa della Donna – Dallas’s largest International Women’s Day celebration, in partnership with the Dallas chapter of Les Dames d’Escoffier!
Les Dames d’Escoffier is a global organization of women leaders who create a supportive culture in our communities to achieve excellence in the food, fine beverage and hospitality fields. Les Dames share Knowledge, Support Members Provide Leadership, Educational Opportunities and Philanthropic Events for the community at large.
