FORT LAUDERDALE, FL | April 17, 2026
The Las Olas Wine and Food Festival, Fort Lauderdale’s longest‑running charitable wine and food festival, is giving foodies and festival fans a new way to save with the launch of a limited‑time Scavenger Hunt Ticket Discount ahead of its milestone 30th anniversary celebration on Friday, April 24.
This week, select participating restaurants along Las Olas Boulevard and throughout the community will display a designated festival poster inside their establishment. Guests who spot the sign and scan the code or enter the unique promo code will unlock an exclusive discount on festival tickets, giving them a chance to enjoy the all‑inclusive event at a special rate.
“We wanted to create a fun, interactive way for people to engage with our restaurant partners while also giving them a little break on tickets,” said Bob Pallay, Director of Food and Beverage at the Riverside Hotel. “It’s a scavenger hunt‑style experience that rewards curiosity, supports local restaurants and makes it even easier to join us for our 30th anniversary celebration.”
The scavenger hunt offers festivalgoers a fresh way to experience the excitement leading up to the event while reminding fans that tickets are still available, and now with an added incentive. Supplies and discount codes are limited and available on a first‑come, first‑served basis.
The Las Olas Wine and Food Festival takes over four blocks of Las Olas Boulevard on Friday, April 24, from 7:30 to 10:30 p.m., featuring dishes from more than 50 top restaurants and sips from more than 200 global wine and spirit brands, live entertainment and interactive experiences. This year’s event features two ticket tiers: a general admission ticket for $175 and a VIP Grand Cru ticket for $300. A new feature this year for our VIPs is a highly anticipated ‘90s party sponsored by Land Rover Fort Lauderdale with throwback beats and retro bites and drinks.
All proceeds benefit the American Lung Association, supporting its mission to save lives by improving lung health and preventing lung disease through research, education and advocacy while helping the 2.8 million Floridians living with lung disease.
To participate in the scavenger hunt, find a participating restaurant displaying the official Las Olas Wine and Food Festival poster or flyer and follow the instructions to access the ticket discount. For full festival details, participating locations and to purchase tickets, visit LasOlasWFF.com.
