Please join us for Songbird Supper, a meal in the meadow benefitting Trinity River Audubon Center. Proceeds will help introduce kids to the great outdoors and support songbird habitat restoration. See the sponsorship opportunities to support our programs and reserve your seat now.
Renowned Dallas chef, Donald Chalko of Omni Dallas will design the meal to showcase produce and sustainably raised meats from nearby farms and ranches. You'll enjoy a delicious family-style meal, live music, custom craft beer and wine, and the golden light of a fall sunset on the prairie. We'll close with a guided walk and candle-light owl prowl along the Trinity River.
A community table meandering along the edge of the Great Trinity Forest. Skeins of geese in the autumn sky. Coyotes yipping in the far distance. A confetti of leaves floating on a cool breeze. Songbird Supper will be a magical evening benefitting Trinity River Audubon Center.
Seating is limited. Don't miss it!
