A Tail Waggin’ Adventure Awaits - 5th Annual Paws Patio Food Fest Returns To Intercontinental Miami

On Saturday, April 4th, 2026, the property’s Picante Terrace will be transformed into an eclectic pet marketplace for humans and their four-legged friends. Attendees can discover new products, meet vendors, bond with their pups and mingle with other dog lovers, all the while enjoying views overlooking Biscayne Bay.

This year’s “Pawty” is hosted by “executive chefs” and doggie-influencer icons Pretzel and Gummy Bear Shih Tzus. The fur-bulous festivities will begin at 1:00 p.m. and include puppy playdates, treat samples, unlimited pup cups, photo opportunities with their fur baby and more paw-some surprises. Rescue Paws_FL, a local 501(c)(3) NonProfit dog rescue, will be joining the event to host raffles benefiting their rescue program. Four-legged friends can also enjoy tastings and fun giveaways from Chewy's new food line, Get Real, along with a pop-up activation from Chewy Vet Care.

Each Passport also serves as your “Fur-ever Passport of Treats,” a whimsical guide that helps attendees sniff out all the fun throughout the event. Inside each Passport, guests will find access to treats and samples from local vendors such as Britsboards, Yum Pup, Raw Instincts, Lulu & Bellas Bakeshop, PawPaw, Pet Chefy, Quore, Chef Wuau, Doggie Bakery Miami and Jaffee’s Bone Broth.

Admission is free for humans. Tickets are $18 per pup and increase to $25 on March 1. Tickets are available through Eventbrite and can be purchased: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/5th-annual-intercontinental-paws-patio-food-fest-tickets-1979907493611?aff=oddtdtcreator.
