Let's cool off together on Tuesday, August 29th at 1 p.m. at the Gathering Place. with some sweet, zesty, refreshing desserts that have made your recipe the talk of the island. Afterall, who doesn’t love a tasty treat on a hot afternoon !

We will host our own taste test for "bulletin board bragging rights" and attempt our own recipe swap for all those who submit. Recipe sharing is optional for those who prefer to keep family secrets.

If you prefer not to create your own dessert, just grab one of your local favorites to bring along or come over empty handed and join the fun. We’re sure there’ll be enough for everyone.

Please call (239) 413-7324 and leave a message to let us know you’re coming.

Dodge the summer heat, stop by, say hi, and let's enjoy the simple things in life like... DESSERT!

The Gathering Place is located at 2304 Periwinkle Way. It sits behind the St. Michael and All Angels Episcopal Church (it’s the Noah’s Ark building). The Periwinkle entrance is for construction crews only, so please enter the property from Dunlop —the driveway is across from the Big Arts building. There is plenty of parking behind the Gathering Place. Handicap parking is just in front of the building.
