Spend an evening celebrating the flavors and sounds of the harvest season at The War Memorial. Begin with a thoughtfully crafted prix fixe dinner by Executive Chef Joe Paxton, showcasing the freshest ingredients of the fall harvest, then settle in for a lively performance by The Aston Neighborhood Pleasure Club.

A traditional American harvest dinner featured the community gathering together, sharing delicious food, and enjoying a day away from the fields in celebration of a successful season. In the spirit of those past celebrations, we invite you to gather with us around the communal table for an evening to remember. Specialty cocktails and paired wines will complete the menu.

As the sun sets over our lakefront ballroom, our performers take the stage. Drawing inspiration from the streets of early New Orleans, the Ferndale-based ensemble brings the timeless sounds of traditional jazz, hot jazz, and early swing to life with infectious energy and acoustic charm. It's an evening of exceptional dining, spirited music, and warm company set against the beautiful backdrop of Lake St. Clair.
