About this Event
Gather with friends, family, and neighbors for The Longest Table, a free community dinner experience at the Floyd Bennett Field! Public Arts Festival. Open to all ages.
Reserve seats for 1–8 people at a shared table, or gather a group and sit together on the lawn. JBRPC provides the tables, chairs, and tablecloths—you bring your favorite picnic dinner, beverages, and any creative table decorations you'd like to add.
Inspired by the tradition of communal dining, The Longest Table transforms Floyd Bennett Field into one giant outdoor gathering place where hundreds of people can share a meal, meet new people, and celebrate together.
As the sun sets, enjoy good food and great conversation before the evening transitions into a spectacular outdoor art experience. Historic Hangars 3 & 4 will become the canvas for newly commissioned projection-mapped artworks, filling the monumental façades with color, motion, sound, and storytelling.
