Guest Bartender Scholarship Fundraiser!

Join us on Wednesday, October 23rd from 6pm-9pm at the Lantern!!

Join the Ridgefield Arts Council and musician, Daniel Madeson, at The Lantern on Wednesday, October 23rd from 6-9pm for a special guest bartender night, raising money for the Ridgefield Arts Council’s 2025 Scholarship. Daniel Madeson is a Singer/Songwriter from Ridgefield, CT. Known for hooks you will be singing for days as well as his vocal harmonies, Daniel carefully curates his sound from the genres of Pop, Soft Rock, and Country. Amy Casey, Colleen Cash, Nick Catina, Jennifer Dineen, Joseph Collin, Pamme Jones, and Tommy Weeks will be pouring drinks as your “guest” bartenders alongside The Lantern’s own Johnny Torres and Shaun Doyle.

The Lantern is generously donating all bar tips plus 10% of all food and beverages purchased in the restaurant and bar during the event. If you are dining in the restaurant, you must mention Ridgefield Arts Council for a donation to be made to the scholarship fund.
