We’ve picked three of the signature events held during the beloved foodie fiesta and pulled some fabulous options from retailers at Aventura Mall to get yourself ready. And when you wrap up the gluttonous weekend be sure to come back for new workout gear. With all that indulgence you might need it.
Miami’s resident merrymaker and Groot Hospitality founder David Grutman is pulling out all the stops to create his signature event that no passionate foodie, music lover, or partygoer should miss.

The event that put the festival on the map is back and better than ever. Emeril Lagasse will take center stage to present the most epic burger showdown to date. Held under the North Venue’s iconic white tents bear witness to the crowning of one very talented chef with the coveted Schweid & Sons® The Very Best Burger Award. Last year, Motek was awarded SOBEWFF Burger Bash peoples’ choice ‘Best Burger’ in Miami with The Arayes Burger, which they are gearing up to participate in again in just a few weeks. The vibe, you ask? Smooth country, thanks to a special performance from Midland, the Grammy-nominated group so dress accordingly. Think elevated Americana. Did we mention cowboy boots are having a moment?
