Negroni Week
September 16 - September 22
Bars and restaurants around the world mix classic Negronis and their variations to raise money for Slow Food’s mission to create a more equitable and sustainable food and beverage world.
Slow Food introduced the Slow Food Negroni Week Fund to support community-led projects that transform the global food system. The fund backs initiatives that preserve diversity, promote food education, and address key food issues, in addition to supporting Slow Food’s ongoing work. Grants are aimed at projects that drive local food system change.
