Meredith Gardens 2022 Events Calendar

---

The progressive dinner is a wonderful evening out, right here in your own neighborhood among neighborhood friends. Whether you’re new to Meredith Gardens or an original owner, the progressive dinner is a must! All progressive dinner participants will meet at the designated “appetizer” house for appetizers, drinks, and meet and greet. Then everyone breaks out to the “dinner” houses in groups of 8-10. Dinner dishes are assigned to all participants. Finally everyone reconvenes at the designated “dessert” house for final sweet treats, coffee, and after dinner drinks.

More details and RSVP information to come.

Meredith Gardens Summerfest is a fantastic and fun event for the whole family to celebrate summer in our great Meredith Gardens neighborhood! Currently planned for 4:30PM to 9:30PM on Colgate Circle, there will be a stage, multiple bands throughout the afternoon and evening, a dance floor, food trucks, and more. There will be tables and chairs, but you still may want to bring your own lawn chairs, blankets, and coolers so you can set up a spot and enjoy the live music and the summer evening with your neighbors!

Come out for this amazing annual event. Put your teams together and enter the double-elimination bocce ball tournament. It’s a family event and a good time is had by all. Check out this Surf City Highlights clip to get a glimpse of the festivities from 2013.
