In addition to the experiences, the beer brand is giving away more than 1,000 prizes, including VIP access to the events and signed merch from Stella Artois ambassadors.

“As the quintessential beer that has always been at the crossroads of dining, entertainment, and culture, the ‘Let’s do Dinner: Summer Series’ brings Stella Artois to the forefront of the most important season for beer: summer,” said Chris Jones, group vice president of marketing, premium brands, Anheuser-Busch. “By giving consumers access to these first-in-kind experiences, we’ll continue to strengthen Stella’s credentials as the essential trade-up beer choice all season long.”

The final Stella Artois event promises to be “star-studded,” although the special guests who will attend have yet to be announced.

Stella Artois says guests will have the opportunity to “connect with global icons and Stella Artois ambassadors for a memorable evening filled with delectable food, entertainment and connection.”

This event first occurred last year and was billed as “The World’s Most Fascinating Dinner.” It was hosted by Matt Damon, Zoe Saldana, Ludacris and Jeremy Allen White. Evans also appeared to lead a game of “Hot Ones”-inspired trivia, in which chefs Gaby Dalkin, JJ Johnson and Tway; actress Tika Sumpter; and an audience member answered questions while eating spicy wings.

Allen White and Saldana took the stage alongside Martha Steward for a round of New York-themed Q&As.

At the end of the evening, OneRepublic frontman Ryan Tedder performed a medley of songs he had written, including Beyoncé’s “Halo,” “Adele’s “Rumor Has It” and the “Top Gun: Maverick” theme, “I Ain’t Worried,”
