How it works
Homegrown Moorestown will host a dinner party with the longest table you can imagine! This exciting community event and fundraiser aims to bring together neighbors, family and friends from across town to enjoy a meal together at the longest table.
Tables are reserved for up to 6 people.
*New in 2026* We are offering a limited number of 12-top tables as well!
One person serves as table captain to fill their table with 5 others (21+ adults) and coordinate the details of the evening. Only one person needs to register for each table.
Each table of 6 (or 12) provides their own food, drinks, tablecloth, drink ware, plates, cutlery, napkins, decor.
Table placement is assigned randomly to create the "Longest Table" in Moorestown.
Unleash your creativity! We encourage everyone to join in the fun in their own way! You can choose a theme for your meal, adorn your table, even dress accordingly! Costumes? Absolutely! Personalize it to your liking. Incorporate flowers, decorations, props—anything to add festivity and fun!
Voting: We will vote on 2 categories this year:
🏆 1. Ulimate Table Experience
This is the table that brings everything together; theme, décor, food, costumes, creativity, and an unforgettable atmosphere.
🎨 2. Design & Detail Award
For the table that wowed everyone with craftsmanship, layering, thoughtful touches, and cohesive design.

Live Music!
Aaron Hehl and John Dutton are a singer/songwriter duo that have been a mainstay in the South Jersey and Philadelphia areas for the last decade. Having performed at local staples such as World Cafe and the TLA, or New York hotspots like Rockwood Music Hall, John and Aaron regularly wow audiences with their strong harmonies and pristine arrangements. Individually accomplished, this duo is even better together and will leave you asking for at least one more song. We are so excited to have them back in 2026!

Longest Table F.A.Q.
Do we come early to set up?
Guests can begin setting up at 5:00 PM. The event officially begins at 6 PM.
Do we bring dessert?
Why not?! Your table will plan the meal! Appetizers, main course, shared plates, drinks, dessert - you decide!
How will food stay hot?
Participants will need to plan accordingly if preparing hot food. This is an outdoor event and therefore there are no outlets for crockpots or heating trays.
NO Grills are permitted.
Is there a dress code?
We'd love for you to get creative! Pick a theme (costumes, dressy, funny, thematic - whatever your group feels!) Your cuisine can match your theme!
Can I bring alcohol?
Yes, this event is BYOB. Please drink responsibly! We will have recycling available.
What if it rains?
The rain date is June 12th, let's hope for sunny skies!
What if we have a group of 8?
Tables are reserved as a group of 6. Alternatively, you can sign up for 2 tables. We have a limited number of 12-top tables this year.
Can I volunteer to help?
Yes! We will need help setting up tables, breaking down tables, general clean up, and selling raffle tickets.
What can I put on my table?
We won't hold you back on that one! Set your tables however you would like! Be sure to think of what you'll need to eat and drink what you bring - plates, cups, plasticware, serving utensils, napkins. Extras - placemats, balloons, flowers, centerpieces. Make it festive and fun!
Will there be restrooms?
Yes! The North Church Recreation Center will be open for our attendees to use the restroom as needed.
Can I bring my dog? My child?
This event is 21+ (humans only!) Don't worry, we have other events for the whole family!
Will there be space around my table?
While the whole idea is to keep this "the longest table" we will have open spaces throughout all of the tables to make movement easier.
Can I just show up the day of the event?
No. You must have a reservation either as table captain or an invited guest to a table captain.
Is glass permitted?
We all love a good wine glass! Glass is permitted but please know that you will be responsible for cleaning up any broken glass.

Can we bring a tent?
We know the sun can be hot, but no, you cannot bring a tent for your table.
Can we bring an extra table for food/drink?
No. There will be ground space for your items.
Will there be trash cans available?
Yes! Trash and recycling will be available around the perimeter of the tables. We recommend bringing a few trash bags to make your clean up easier and don't forget to bring home your belongings.

Isn't this Memorial Day Weekend?
Nope! It is the weekend after.
What if 12-top tables are sold out before I can purchase one?
If you planned to have a 12-top table and those are sold out, you will need to purchase two 6-top tables with two different table captain names.
Can I suggest songs for the playlist?
Yes! Here.
