The Third Annual Dania Pointe Food & Wine Festival, featuring delectable culinary creations from some of the center’s most popular restaurants, will return from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday, Nov 10. Attendees at this year’s festival at the 102-acre premier South Florida lifestyle center can look forward to live cooking demonstrations, wine and cocktail tastings, strolling entertainers, a fire dancer and a DJ to keep the energy high throughout the afternoon.
“We’re excited to bring the Dania Pointe Food and Wine Festival back for a third year,” says Maynel Alvarez-Requejo, Senior Director of Lifestyle Marketing for Kimco Realty. “This event has quickly become an annual staple in the community, and we’re looking forward to our best event yet—with new enhancements and a more seamless experience attendees will appreciate.”
The list of participating restaurants includes Cooper’s Hawk Winery & Restaurant, Cucina, CT Cantina & Taqueria, Crema Gourmet Espresso Bar, Firebirds Wood Fired Grill, Padrino’s Cuban Restaurant, Playa Bowls, Radiant 166, IT’SUGAR, Lime Fresh Mexican Grill, Outback Steakhouse, Rodizio Grill, Sirocco Mediterranean Restaurant and Tommy Bahama Marlin Bar.
“We chose to highlight our tamales because they represent an iconic, traditional family dish,” says Gerardo Jaime. “Simple yet incredibly flavorful, tamales are a must-have at every holiday, birthday celebration, and family gathering. We’re excited to share the process and show how it’s done.”
Guests will have the opportunity to indulge in a delightful tasting menu featuring a variety of popular dishes, such as mini-Hawaiian pretzel buns with freshly shaved prime rib and horseradish cream served with caramelized onion ranch from Cooper’s Hawk, ahi tuna edamame cups from Radiant 166, and grilled cheese with honey, linguiça (Brazilian pork sausage) and caipirinhas from Rodizio Grill.
The festival will take place in the hotel plaza between the Marriott and AC Hotel Fort Lauderdale Airport, with an extension along N Pointe Drive. This ample space will offer an enhanced check-in process for attendees. Tickets for the event are priced at $50 and are anticipated to sell out fast. Guests must be 21 years or older, and ID is required for entry.
Free event parking is available in both Dania Pointe parking garages: Way Pointe Garage (next to Bowlero) and South Bearing Garage (behind Firebirds). Dania Pointe is located at 139 S. Compass Way in Dania Beach.
