Sixth Annual Riverwalk International Food Festival Comes to Fort Lauderdale

Fort Lauderdale's Riverwalk turns into an open-air international food court on November 14, 2026, when the Sixth Annual Riverwalk International Food Festival brings local restaurants and vendors out to Esplanade Park for an afternoon along the water.

A Taste of the World for $5 a Bite

The festival's format keeps things approachable: local restaurants and food vendors line the Riverwalk offering international bites, each priced at just $5, so guests can graze their way through a wide variety of cuisines without a big commitment to any one stop.

Free to Attend, With a VIP Option

Admission to the festival grounds is free and open to the public. For guests 21 and older who want a more curated experience, a limited-capacity VIP Tasting Experience offers premium food and beverage samplings — worth grabbing early, since it's capped and sells out.
