Dining in The Dark 2026
January 29, 2026 @ 6:00 pm – 9:00 pm
Dining in The Dark is an exceptional event giving guests an intimate understanding of vision loss.
On Thursday, January 29, 2026 at The Savannah Convention Center in downtown Savannah, GA, take part in a unique gala dinner designed to raise awareness about vision loss. Experience a sumptuous three-course meal served in complete darkness by the Savannah Police Department’s SWAT team and the Georgia Air National Guard (“GANG”).
What happens in the dark?
Dining in The Dark is a rare and unique sensory experience that you will never forget. First, a blackout chamber allows your eyes to adjust to complete darkness. After five minutes, you will be escorted to your table by your SWAT / GANG guide. Once at your table, your senses will begin a journey that will take you to a heightened appreciation of smell, taste, sound, and touch.
