Table 8: Community Dinner Kickoff

Table 8: Community Dinner Kickoff

Mellow MushroomDurham, NC
Friday, Dec 12 from 7 pm to 11 pm EST
Overview

Join us at Mellow Mushroom for the Table 8 kickoff—good food, community vibes, holiday fun, and an optional Brightleaf lights stroll.

We’re kicking off Table 8 with a relaxed, come-as-you-are community dinner, a chance for everyone to meet, mingle, and enjoy a low-pressure night together.

This kickoff isn’t a structured Table 8 dinner. It’s a simple, welcoming meetup built around good food, good energy, and good people. Mellow Mushroom offers a chill setting, great food options for a variety of dietary needs, and space for a large group, making it the perfect place for our community’s first gathering.

This is your chance to:
✨ Meet new people
✨ Build community in a relaxed setting
✨ Share stories, laughs, and real connection
✨ Enjoy a space where you can drop in or stay as long as you’d like

What to Expect:

  • A laid-back evening of connection
  • Holiday vibes — festive sweaters/holiday gear encouraged
  • A few photo moments throughout the night
  • Optional: stroll to see the holiday lights around Brightleaf afterward
  • No pressure, no program — just community
  • There will be RAFFLES & GIVEAWAYS!

Though Mellow closes at 11, you DO NOT have to stay the whole time. We want to ensure everyone who attends has time to eat, mingle, and enjoy the event.

There's free and paid parking by the restaurant
