There will also be sake and other libations available at the cash bar.
Catering at all eight Culture & Cocktails events this year is by Log Rolling Catering, with hors d'oeuvres and other treats at chef-attended stations all included with admission. Additional food options will also be available from the deluxe Log Rolling Food Truck.
