Blind Cafe

"It's really dark in here!" I heard this repeated several times by different people. I wondered "What part of 'totally dark room' did you not understand?"

Apparently, it's uncommon for sighted people to actually experience real darkness. There's always a little light - leaking around window coverings and doors, or from luminous devices.

Not at The Blind Cafe - An Award Winning Community Awareness Concert and Dinner in the dark.

My husband and I attended this event last time they came to Portland and found it to be entertaining and enlightening. We highly recommend it.

Dine on a tasty, begetarian eal served family-style in a completely dark room. Hear music, poetry, and experiences of blind people. The event is thoughtfully and safely set up to provide an interesting sensory experience for the usually-sighted. Part of the proceeds will be donated to help the local blind community.

June 2nd - 4th - 3rd Portland Blind Cafe.
