(Street Festival 4/19/13 7:30p.m. – 10p.m.)
The Friday, April 19th Street Festival ticket has everything that seals the deal in making this clearly the #1 wine and food event in South Florida! Your street festival ticket includes a complimentary wine glass (6½ oz.), butler tray and unlimited sampling from over 70 of the best local restaurants, 45 tables of wine and micro brews from 7.30 p.m. – 10 p.m. The street festival takes place on Las Olas Boulevard; between 6th Ave. – 11th Ave. – four city blocks of food, wine, & fun! ** Please note you must be 21 or older to participate with a valid I.D./I.D.’s will be checked at the door.
The Street Festival ticket also includes access to our spirit lounges for the ultimate cocktail experience! Welcome to the world of Bombay Sapphire Gin, a unique combination of ten exotic botanical ingredients sourced from around the world. The Bombay Sapphire Lounge has become a staple of the Las Olas Wine & Food Festival. The lounge is where festival guests go to experience custom cocktails like the Bombay Sapphire Raspberry Collins. The Sapphire Raspberry Collins is a twist on an old favorite that incorporates freshly squeezed lemons, ripe raspberries, and delicious Bombay Sapphire Gin. The Shellback Caribbean Rum Hut will debut at our festival. The Hut will have an interactive sailing simulator, a photo and video booth, as well an offering of delicious rum cocktails to sample. Sourced from the finest Caribbean sugarcane, and blended with twelve spices and other natural flavors, Shellback is a modern rum for discerning palates.
Of course to compliment this affair we include live music from amazing South Florida acts like The Weedline Band & the legendary Pan Vibes. We love to add a little fashion in as well so a Culinary Couture Fashion Show by the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale will take place on the cat walk. “Best of the Fest” will be voted on by New Times judges; restaurants will receive culinary awards in a variety of categories. You can experience everything the Street Festival ticket has to offer for only $100 per person. This charity event is rain or shine and there will be tenting on the street to accommodate weather.
