December 18: Holiday Fundraiser + Cocktail Party
$0

---

Celebrate the holidays and support BEM!

>>>   Click HERE for tickets   <<<

Join us for an evening of festivity and fundraising to support BEM, your home for food literature of the African diaspora. Purchase your ticket today and come ready to party while helping us bring you more Black food books next year and beyond.

We'll have delicious bites, drinks courtesy of Ten To One Rum and Bed-Vyne Wine & Spirits, and a dessert to cap off the evening. PLUS, the fabulous DJ Monday Blue will be spinning to set the mood.

Bring a favorite recipe to contribute to our community board and take one with you that you'd like to try. Get raffle tickets for fun food-related items and do a little holiday shopping while you're at it, too.

Stop by any time after doors open at 6pm. We'll wrap up the evening with the raffle drawing around 9:30pm, so be sure to arrive in time to enter the raffle!

Funds raised will go to BEM, the Black food bookstore you know and love. BEM will donate a portion of proceeds to our new sibling nonprofit, the BEM Cultural Foundation, which now presents all of our programs. If you've enjoyed a BEM event this fall, come out for the good food and good energy you've come to expect at 373 Lewis Ave. If you haven't been able to visit in person yet, this is the perfect opportunity to see the space and help us prepare for a bountiful and delicious 2026.
