Break out the nostalgia and your stretchy pants. The Las Olas Wine & Food Festival (LOWFF) is back on Friday, April 24, celebrating 30 years of food, wine and philanthropy with a full-on ‘90s-themed takeover of Las Olas Boulevard.
“Celebrating 30 years of the Las Olas Wine & Food Festival is an incredible milestone, and we’re proud to support an event that brings together world-class wine, food, and community in support of the American Lung Association,” Riley Burke, chairman of the LOWFF Committee and VP of Sales at Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits, tells Browardist. “This year’s anniversary is especially exciting, with elevated experiences like the VIP ticket and the new ‘Ode to the ’90s’ lounge, creating a fresh, nostalgic way for guests to celebrate this iconic tradition.”
Running from 7:30 p.m. (5:30 p.m. for VIPs), the festival spans four blocks of Las Olas, bringing together more than 40 restaurants and 200 wines and spirits for an all-inclusive tasting experience. Expect everything from American Social and Casa Sensei to Ocean Prime, Steak 954, Timpano Las Olas, Sixty Vines, El Vez, Benihana, Padrino’s Restaurant and Ethos Greek Bistro serving up bites alongside global pours.
This year’s throwback theme transports guests back to 1996, complete with an “Ode to the ’90s” VIP lounge featuring retro beats, specialty cocktails and elevated bites. Elsewhere, expect interactive activations like a Jim Beam x Cadillac F1 pit stop and a tech-driven golf experience, plus the return of the Premium Wine Garden with exclusive pours.
General admission tickets are $175, while VIP Grand Cru tickets are $300 and include early access, a pre-party at The Riverside Hotel and exclusive VIP experiences. Best of all, 100% of proceeds benefit the American Lung Association, supporting lung health initiatives across Florida.
