THOMASVILLE — Tickets are now on sale for the Thomasville History Center’s 34th Annual Pilau Dinner, returning on Tuesday, November 3, 2026 (Election Day). A beloved community tradition since 1993, the annual fundraiser brings friends, families, and neighbors together for a classic South Georgia meal while supporting the preservation of local history.
Thomasville National Bank returns as the event’s exclusive sponsor, continuing its generous support of every Pilau Dinner since 2017.
First introduced to the History Center community by Jasper Davis in 1993, the Pilau Dinner began as a fundraiser to support renovations to the historic Smith Log House and Kitchen. More than three decades later, the event has grown into an Election Night tradition that draws hundreds of guests to the History Center each year. As Thomasville celebrates its Bicentennial in 2026, the dinner offers another opportunity to celebrate the food and traditions that have brought the community together across generations.
