Las Olas food festival returns
The Las Olas Wine & Food Festival is back for its 30th anniversary on April 24, turning Fort Lauderdale’s Las Olas Boulevard into a culinary takeover with local chefs and wine programming. It’s becoming one of South Florida’s biggest spring dining draws this year. (bocaratontribune.com)
Presented by the American Lung Association of South Florida, the festival serves as a fundraising event for that charity and is listed on the association’s event materials.

(lasolaswff.com) Programming will feature more than 50 participating Greater Fort Lauderdale restaurants alongside roughly 200 wines and curated spirits, with promotional materials highlighting a chef‑driven lineup of 50+ culinarians.
