The Feast of Fortification is a sit-down meal that marks the start of the Halloween season.
The meal itself can be fancy or simple. It can be a small group or a community event. Consider inviting neighbors, new friends, or both. Your goal is to make connections and create shared experiences. No distractions, like phones or TV, are allowed at the Feast table—and no rushing, if possible.
