2,000-Foot Table To Be Set Up On N. Union Street For Special Dinner Event This Month

LAMBERTVILLE, NJ — If you see a huge, 2,000-foot-long dinner table in the middle of town on Aug. 13, don't be alarmed.

It's just the Dawn Town Dinner, an event that the soap brand is partnering with Lambertville to host. It will be an "enjoyable evening of conversation over a three course dinner right on scenic Union Street," according to information from the city of Lambertville. The dinner will be held on N. Union Street.

The bad news is, registration for the free dinner has closed. The good news is, local officials expect to be a boost for the town.

"The event will help boost our local businesses and tourism, through the national exposure we receive. It will be shared with Dawn’s more than 1 million followers on social media," said an announcement from Lambertville.

Dawn will be picking up the tab for the dinner, and handling the cleanup. According to the company, a special celebrity guest will also be there.

The menu for the evening has not been announced.

Plus, Dawn is picking up any additional costs to the city stemming from the event, officials said. "Event coordinators are proactively reaching out to local businesses to share information," the announcement said.
