The atmosphere was electric as guests enjoyed unlimited bites and sips from over three dozen of the region's top chefs and restaurants. Acclaimed eateries like Amada, Bolo, Morimoto, South Philly Barbacoa, and many others showcased incredible flavors, while sponsors including Philadelphia Distilling, Stateside Vodka, and Yards Brewing Company provided refreshing beverages.
Beyond the exceptional food and drink, the event was a feast for the senses. Live Latin fusion music by De Tierra Caliente filled the ballroom, and a unique night market area featured handmade crafts from Philadelphia immigrant community members and engaging photo opportunities that captured the festive spirit. The silent and live auctions were a major highlight, featuring sought-after prizes like a weekend at Fitler Club, an autographed Alec Bohm hat, a private pizza party with Chef Brad Daniels, a dinner by Chef Juan Carlos of El Chingón, and a golf outing with Ruben Amaro Jr.
"This fundraiser is such a special moment for Philly's food scene," Chef Garces remarked before the event. His sentiment was echoed throughout the successful evening, which brought together the city's culinary stars and generous attendees for a great cause.
The funds raised will directly support the Garces Foundation's mission to provide essential healthcare, dental, and educational services to Philadelphia's immigrant community, making a life-changing difference for many families. The 2025 Latin Night Market was another unforgettable and impactful evening for the Garces Foundation.
