The Girl Scouts of Southeastern New England is gearing up for their eighth annual Cookies and Cocktails event to raise money for their high-level programming.

The event is scheduled to take place on Thursday, March 7, 2024, at Farm Fresh RI located at 10 Sims Ave., Providence, RI 02909. Local restaurants and bars will be showcasing their culinary delights using Girl Scout cookies, which are the result of a partnership between the Girl Scouts and numerous local businesses. Some of the restaurants that will be participating include Res American Bistro, Siena, Bettola, The Boathouse, Barnaby’s Public House, Coast Guard House, Waterman Grille, Wright’s Dairy Farm, The Jefferson Speakeasy, and Narragansett Brewery.

Attendees will be able to enjoy a variety of foods and beverages, including hors d’oeuvres, Girl Scout cookie desserts, and cocktail and beer samples. The event also offers live music and a silent auction.

Proceeds from the event will go towards the Girl Scouts of Southeastern New England’s mission, which includes providing mental health and well-being support for youth, developing and implementing camps for youth in foster care, and making Girl Scouting accessible to all.

Tickets to the event are $100 per person. Purchase tickets and learn more about the event at gssne.org/cookiesandcocktails. Parking will be available on-site.
