The venues located on the Glass City Riverwalk are perfect for meetings, corporate events, fundraising events, family gatherings, weddings, and beyond. These versatile spaces will elevate your event, against the backdrop of Toledo's scenic riverfront.
Located at Glass City Metropark, The Garden by Poco Piatti is the exclusive in-house food and beverage provider for Market Hall, The Ribbon (Summer and Winter), Cabana Village (Summer & Winter) and the Glass City Pavilion and Event Lawn (*beginning January 1, 2025)
Offering a variety of catering options from The Garden (menu) to the full Poco Piatti catering menu, we can cater to any occasion. If you need a custom menu, work with our team to craft a tailored menu suited for your event. Options are available for morning meetings, luncheons, simple delivery and drop off packages, or comprehensive hospitality services with buffet or plated meal selections and bar packages.
