The Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida is back to host its second Ultimate Garden Party.

The event, which first premiered last year, raises awareness that one in eight Central Floridians is at risk of going to bed hungry on any given night.

All proceeds raised at the Ultimate Garden Party fund Second Harvest’s hunger relief efforts, which include distributing enough food for 300,000 meals a day across Orange, Osceola, Lake, Marion, Seminole, Volusia and Brevard counties.

This year, attendees will have the opportunity to enjoy a magical afternoon filled with entertainment, hors d’oeuvres and live music. In addition, participants can test their casino skills while enjoying cocktails at the libations lounge and shopping the newest collections from vendors who will donate 25% of sales back to Second Harvest.

General admission is $150 with VIP access starting at $250.

For an additional $75 donation, guests can even earn a limited opportunity to enter for a chance to win the event’s ultimate prize – The Full Bloom, which includes fun experiences, entertainment, accessories and household goodies.

The Ultimate Garden Party will kick off at 1 p.m. on Saturday, May 20, at Signia by Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek, 14100 Bonnet Creek Resort Lane.
