World Localization Day: Closer to Home - Apero-Dining Screening

Come join us for a special event at @vivingrocerybistrothonglor! It's a celebration of all things local, organic, and artisanal. Enjoy an evening of aperitifs, delicious food, and a screening that will bring us closer to our community and planet.

In this very special event and evening hosted in honor of World Localization Day (June 21), come enjoy a film screening, panel discussion + Q&A during Happy Hour from 5-7 PM, followed by dinner from the fine local fare at Vivin Grocery at Thonglor Soi 13.

This will be the very first peek at the film "Closer to Home" (released June 21) which delves into why localization & local consumption are such an integral part of living sustainably, hosted in the warm atmosphere and surrounded by the plethora of local products showcased in the Vivin Grocery - Bistro and Bar and on the menu.

The film explores themes of local sourcing, supporting local communities, and food systems. It will be followed by a panel discussion & Q&A session with proponents of local sourcing, followed by time for mingling and discussion over dinner.
