The evening's menu, which was suspended like an umbrella on a swivel stick, featured dishes like grilled shrimp with cucumber-wrapped quinoa salad and blood orange emulsion and a manjari chocolate mousse sombrero for dessert. Mike's Hard Lemonade's Mikes Classic Margarita was the signature drink of the event.

Red threads also appeared on the edges of a communal table designed by Perkins & Will and the Ruder Group. Like many of this year's tabletop settings, the design had a natural look. The table had no linens and was topped with succulents and white taper candles. Small sprigs of greenery were tied onto white napkins with twine, and a furry throw added texture to the seats.
