Get ready for the next Philly Stake by purchasing your tickets online. Last time, this wildly popular event sold out in 10 hours, and Bartram's Garden is the perfect location for the BYO-Blanket picnic-style dinner featuring a sumptuous meal, free beer and music.

Philly Stake is recurring event celebrating locally sourced food and creative community projects. Organized by volunteers, Philly Stake holds events approximately every three-to-four months, and has distributed $13,350 to 18 community projects since September 2010. Stake dinners are seasonal meals sourced from local farms and purveyors. At the dinner, eight Philadelphia-based project proposals are presented to diners (check out the call for proposals here). Attendees vote for the project they deem most worthy. Awardees leave the dinner with the proceeds and present their funded project at the next meal.

The June Stake will feature live music by Heyward Howkins. Visit the Facebook page for all the info. Sign up for their email list to get first dibs on tickets.
