Something special is cooking and pouring in Dania Beach! The City of Dania Beach proudly presents the Dania Beach Wine & Seafood Festival, now in its 10th year, on Saturday, March 9th, from 4:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., at a new location, Dania Beach City Hall Plaza, 100 West Dania Beach Boulevard, Dania Beach, Florida, 33004. Admission is free and open to the public. Tickets ($55 in advance and $70 at the event) required for unlimited wine and beer tastings and a commemorative glass.

The culinary and artistic talents of South Florida will be on display. Enjoy dishes from over 20 of South Florida’s popular mouthwatering eateries and sip and sample over 40 international wineries, spirits brands, and breweries, while listening to live music from DJ Mills, Loco Por Juana and Never Stop Believin’ (Journey cover band) and others and watching the creativity of local visual artists.

“Dania Beach, Broward County’s first city, is alive with thriving arts, hospitality, and marine communities. We look forward to welcoming guests to our festival kicking off our city’s 120th anniversary celebrations,” said Dania Beach Mayor A. J. Ryan IV.

Bring your appetites to feast on a cornucopia of delicious seafood including lobster, shrimp, local fish, and other specialty treats from the land available through vendors and food trucks.

Cooking up specialties will also take the stage. Local chefs will demonstrate their special recipes at the Chef Showcase, where complimentary samples of food will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. And our first-ever Little Chefs Station will guide children through an exciting 30-minute culinary adventure, where they will have the opportunity to create a dish. Complimentary sessions are available from 4:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Sign-up available at the Parks and Recreation tent for a session slot.

Experience more than just shopping at the event! Step into the vibrant world of local artists as they showcase their talents, sculpting signature sand masterpieces and creating live interactive chalk art right before your eyes. Guests can also unleash their inner artist at the complimentary art canvas station to craft their own masterpiece that reflects the essence of the event.

The event is family and dog friendly, with free parking available at City Hall Garage and complimentary park-and-ride shuttles from The Casino at Dania Beach and Oakwood Plaza (near Big Lots).
