Dinner and Dancing | 7:30 p.m. – Feast on signature dishes from over 40 of the area’s finest restaurants, enjoy drinks from the open bar, dance to the live music of The Don’t Call Me Francis Band, purchase tickets for the 50/50 raffle drawing, visit the photobooth, and sample beverages from local breweries and distilleries.

Dessert Extravaganza | 9:00 p.m. – Indulge in sweet treats prepared by area pastry chefs as well as students and faculty of the Academy of Culinary Arts.

The Restaurant Gala is the college’s key fundraising event with proceeds funding scholarships for students attending the Academy of Culinary Arts. Since its inception, the Gala has raised more than $3.5 million for scholarships through the support of the community and corporate sponsors.  The proceeds from this event will benefit students at the Academy of Culinary Arts, an emergency fund for college students, and Atlantic Cape Foundation operations.  Last year’s Gala raised $214,400!  

Join the celebration at South Jersey’s premier food and beverage event and help ensure our future service as the “community’s college!”
