2026 Date TBD
The 5th Annual Riverwalk International Food Festival will feature offerings from across South Florida’s dynamic culinary scene.
The 5th Annual Riverwalk International Food Festival was a celebration of global flavors and culinary creativity, right in the heart of Fort Lauderdale. Set along the picturesque Riverwalk, this annual festival showcased the diverse tastes that make South Florida a true food lover’s paradise.
Greater Fort Lauderdale and Broward County are known for their rich culinary landscape, shaped by a melting pot of cultures and influences—particularly from the Caribbean and Latin America. This dynamic blend is reflected in everything from traditional dishes to inventive fusion cuisine, with flavors representing communities from around the globe.
The Riverwalk International Food Festival brings these culinary traditions together for one unforgettable day of food, drink, music, and cultural celebration.
Our VIP Area included small bites from The Chimney House and Señor Frogs, beer by Tarpon River Brewing, and a bar featuring Aupale Vodka, Oo-Lah Cocktails and wines from J Street Imports, organized by Swiggle.
