Tickets for the 2025 Farm to Pavilion Dinner go on sale July 3rd! Columbia Farmers Market's annual fundraiser and celebration of local food, now hosted at the MU Health Care Pavilion on September 8th at 6:00 pm. In honor of our 45th anniversary, we have reimagined this event to offer a more casual, inclusive atmosphere, welcoming even more people to gather and enjoy the best of our local food scene. All proceeds help offset vendor fees and fund programs like our SNAP matching programs and children's activities.

With a new format designed to make the event more accessible, this year’s ticket price is $65 per person providing guests with a delightful evening featuring buffet-style meals crafted by Columbia chefs from Pasta La Fata, Ozark Mountain Biscuit Company, Nourish Cafe + Market, Barred Owl, Irene’s, Tsokolate, Beet Box, Belly, Birdie’s Deli, Abbey Swahili Delights, Polvorosas, and Gina’s Vegan A Go Go, using fresh ingredients donated from Columbia Farmers Market vendors. September is the ideal time to showcase the Midwest’s abundance, as summer and fall harvests overlap and the market is overflowing with fresh, local goodness. Guests have the option to purchase $7 drink tickets for local wines from Elderblossom View, cider from Waves Cider Company, beer from Logboat Brewery, and cocktails from Six Mile Ordinary spirits.

New this year, guests can participate in an exciting silent auction featuring items such as a Sailing Adventure for Four and one-of-a-kind works of art. Enjoy live music from Zamboni Funk as we gather to support the Columbia Farmers Market.
