Upcoming North Carolina Events

MITTI – GROUNDED IN TRADITION
Join us on April 21st at The Crest in downtown Winston-Salem for an intentionally curated afternoon of culture, connection, and elevated design.
Thoughtfully produced in collaboration with Ishani Events, this experience blends vibrant cultural elements with refined hospitality. The afternoon begins with a striking welcome moment featuring live music and a ceremonial garland presentation, setting the tone for what’s to come.
Guests will then flow into a lively outdoor social hour with immersive tasting stations—anchored by a panipuri experience designed to delight and engage. We’ll gather for an inspiring conversation with Amrit Dhillon-Bains, exploring how sustainability can be seamlessly woven into beautiful, intentional events.
The experience concludes with a curated culinary offering and time to connect, designed to foster meaningful conversation within our creative community.
Cost:
- Members: $150
- Non-Members: $200
