The Bayhaven Food & Wine Festival is a five-day celebration of Black Foodways, aimed at raising awareness of Black culinary experts and creating opportunities for newcomers in the hospitality industry. Founders Subrina Collier and Chef Gregory Greg Collier were inspired by the history, style and culture of HBCU homecomings, an important pillar of the Black experience. Join us for this fabulous dinner to kick off the festival and highlight great talent, delicious food and support JBF’s Legacy Network program. 

Friends of James Beard Benefits provide critical funding for our programs, to help JBF achieve its mission to celebrate, support, and elevate the people behind America’s food culture, and champion a standard of Good Food for Good© anchored in talent, equity, and sustainability. This Friends of James Beard dinner as part of Bayhaven Food & Wine Festival supports the JBF Legacy Network.
