“About the only thing missing at this year's Lakeside A La Carte was the little mint to take home”

“Wet wild and a whole lot of fun, eat, drink and be merry”
- August 2008,The Burlington Post

The setting is Spencer Smith Park, Downtown Burlington.  Huge white tents provide a temporary home to more than three dozen restaurants, wineries and breweries.  There is truly a delight for every taste.  The area’s superb chefs and vintners bring out their very best tastes to support this great event.  Guests stroll from tent to tent, sampling wines, tasting delicious dishes while being entertained by relaxing smooth jazz.  Throw in a silent auction, fabulous draw prizes and you have the makings of Burlington’s Ultimate Summer Party.

The Rotary Club of Burlington Central has been hosting Lakeside a la Carte since 1998.  So far this gastronomic feast has raised more than $275,000 for community charities. 

Order your tickets early and join us.  Round up some friends, head down to the lake and make Lakeside a la Carte your annual summer event.
