MIDTOWN

Hear here. Midtown isn’t your average venue.  In a culture where live performances have become increasingly more and more impersonal, we decided to build a different kind of experience. One with a world-class sound system and a semi-circle of seating, for more engaged musicians and a more captive audience.

STELLA ARTOIS – Stop by the Stella Artois Beer City Station Music Stage to listen to live music, while enjoying great beer.

Stella Artois is proud of its rich Belgian heritage. Stella Artois traces its origins to over 600 years ago, to the Den Hoorn brewery in Leuven, Belgium founded in 1366. Stella Artois was born as a Holiday gift to the people of Leuven from the brewery. The name “Stella” – meaning “star” in Latin – pays homage to the occasion, and a star has been proudly displayed on Stella Artois bottles ever since.

CULINARY CULTIVATIONS
We are your one-stop shop for culinary consulting, ServSafe certifications, and event staffing.  We specialize in food service and food safety consultation, Servsafe® food and alcohol safety training and certifications, as well as food service staffing for all your event staffing needs.  We realized that often the people teaching food handling safety techniques to chefs and food service professionals alike were not actually in the Hospitality or Food Service Industry themselves. We then set out to reinvent the typical food safety training program with a more hands-on and practical approach by forming Culinary Cultivations while providing the highest possible level of customer service and performance.
