Four times a year, the Collective hosts community dinners open to the public. Our Collective Dinners feature incredible menus by our Co-director and chef, Neftalí Durán, as well as seasonal themes, speakers and/or activities that are bilingual in English and Spanish. Our family friendly events are always sliding scale starting from $0, with any donations we receive going toward covering food costs. Collective Dinners are a space to connect over food, culture, ideas and inspiration for a more nourished community. Our fall 2025 through fall 2026 dinners are made possible in part by Mass Cultural Council.

All our events are volunteer powered. Check out our volunteer page to learn about cooking, setting up, serving or washing dishes at one of our upcoming Collective Dinners.

Below are the flyers for all of the dinners we’ve hosted starting with the most recent or upcoming one
