The Longest Table: Hartford


Connect. Create Community. Eat & Have Fun.
WE have tables & chairs. YOU bring friends & food.


Imagine a table as long as a city block, where you are surrounded by friends and neighbors -- some you know, others you don't know... yet. Everyone is enjoying their picnic supper and each other's company, celebrating our neighborhood and city. 

Inspired by the famous Parisian Table d’Aude – and the hugely successful annual Longest Table in NYC – this free event hosted by the SoDo NRZ will bring neighbors together for a BYO-picnic at a block-long communal table. Join us for a connected and engaged Hartford moment!
