Miami, meet the Original.

Tickets from $30. VIP available. Dates subject to final confirmation.

Now booking · Founding sponsors + partners

Be first in Miami.

Miami has not happened yet, and that is the opportunity. Founding sponsors and partners come in before the first ticket is sold: their category, their footprint on the grounds, and their name on everything that introduces Latin Food Fest to Miami. What they are backing is four years of New York, built again for Miami.
