13th Annual Boca Raton Wine & Food Festival Returns for 2026

Downtown Boca Raton turns into an open-air culinary showcase on November 21, 2026, when the 13th Annual Boca Raton Wine & Food Festival, A Culinary Affair!, takes over Sanborn Square Park for an evening of Grand Tasting, live entertainment, and a chef competition that draws talent from across the tri-county area.

A World Tour in Culinary Villages

Rather than a single tasting tent, the festival is organized into themed culinary villages — Italian, American, Mediterranean, and Asia Pacific — so guests can wander from one cuisine to the next while sampling dishes from top area chefs. Fine wine, spirits, and craft brews round out each stop along the way.

Entertainment and a Cause

Live entertainment runs throughout the evening, and a culinary chef competition adds a friendly bit of rivalry to the Grand Tasting. The festival is presented by BocaRaton.com and The Bites! Network, with proceeds benefiting the Children's Giving Foundation, a Boca Raton nonprofit supporting children's charities across South Florida.
