FORT LAUDERDALE, FL | March 27, 2026
The iconic Las Olas Wine and Food Festival is turning 30, and it’s throwing the ultimate birthday bash on Las Olas Boulevard between S. E. 6th Avenue and S. E 11th Avenue from 7:30-10:30 p.m. with VIP experiences beginning at 5:30 p.m.
On Friday, April 24, South Florida’s most stylish street transforms once again into a culinary playground, packed with elevated experiences, next‑level entertainment, and flavors that have made this festival a can’t‑miss tradition for three decades.
This year, the festival pays tribute to its roots with a 90’s‑themed anniversary celebration, transporting guests back to 1996; the year the Las Olas Wine and Food Festival’s magic began. Attendees can expect nostalgic vibes with a modern twist, complete with specialty cocktails, and VIPs will have access to a dedicated retro‑chic lounge where guests can sip, snack, relax, and vibe to throwback beats.
And that’s just the beginning!
Wine lovers, prepare yourselves: the Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits Premium Wine Garden sponsored by Ombelle Fort Lauderdale returns with its most impressive lineup yet. Partiers will sip their way through exclusive pours, wines from around the world, and limited‑release bottles, plus enjoy elevated bites from Shooters Waterfront.
More than 200 domestic and international wines and spirits from Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits will be featured at onsite tasting pavilions at the venue; and festival foodies will find more than 40 of your favorite South Florida restaurants in the festival’s 30th‑anniversary lineup. Attendees can look forward to a dynamic mix of signature bites, new flavors, and crowd-favorites that all bring something bold and delicious to the Boulevard.
Festivalgoers will also be treated to a VR golf experience. Attendees will get to compete with friends, and enjoy immersive, tech‑driven play.
The Las Olas Wine and Food Festival has been Fort Lauderdale’s signature celebration of food, wine, culture, and community since 1996; supporting the American Lung Association through every pour and every bite.
