Feast of the Seven Fishes is a holiday-time tradition.
The Feast of the Seven Fishes is an Italian dinner tradition that typically takes place on Christmas Eve, but you don’t have to travel to Italy to experience it. A handful of Fort Worth restaurants are hosting their own versions this week, but reservations are going quick. Also on the list: a chance to knock out wrapping presents with some added holiday cheer, and a cooking class that will bring a taste of Thai home for Christmas.

Wear your favorite Christmas sweater to get in the holiday spirit. Party starts at 4 pm.
A Vegan Christmas Curry Class at The Table Market & Culinary Studio
