Who Said Tented Events Are Only For Summer?

On Saturday, February 28th, The JDK Group partnered with The Cultural Enrichment Fund to throw their signature Red Carpet Soirée gala. The Cultural Enrichment Fund is the capital region’s united arts fund with a mission to sustain a vibrant and diverse cultural life in the area.

The Red Carpet Soirée

Each year the Cultural Enrichment Fund throws a Red Carpet Soirée to raise money to further their mission. The location of the event is always a surprise to the guests and this year’s location did not disappoint. In true JDK style, we delivered the unexpected by utilizing a unique, never used before, venue.

Surprise location with a spectacular view

Guests were invited into the art galleries of the State Museum of Pennsylvania to enjoy cocktail hour complete with eight of JDK’s signature hors d’oeuvres. At the conclusion of cocktail hour, guests were guided by a dragon through the museum’s art galleries to a set of red curtains. Hidden behind the curtains was the shocking and spectacular dinner location: a clear-top tent in the middle of downtown Harrisburg.  Guests gasped at the clear, breathtaking view of the Capitol Building.

Many guests were shocked that the event was outside under a tent in the middle of winter. Six heaters were used to keep guests comfortable throughout the duration of the event, showing that tented events are not just for summer.
