bring something to share
Established in 2009, the Bacon & Lox Society is dedicated to the concept of the shared table and generosity of spirit through artful gatherings and intentional celebrations. We believe the magic lies in our collective contributions, which is why each gathering is an open invitation to “bring something to share.”
We’re a community of makers who take pleasure in everyday artistry and seek to celebrate the creative gifts of others. We love experiencing life through the lens of gratitude. Led by Celebrant Alisa Tongg, the Bacon & Lox Society comes together to celebrate the best of all cultures and the celebration of new and meaningful traditions.
Community is at the heart of BLS and we strive to bring that spirit with us to every experience we plan and host — be that at our private ceremony space, Promise Ridge, or your private event!
To find out about future BLS gatherings, please follow us on social media!
