Eating, drinking and dancing are not the only things on the menu this year. For the foodie who also loves to shop, the Retail Bazaar and the Farmer’s Market will feature a variety of merchandise to take home. Event Designer Robert Stanfield says, “You can eat, drink, dance and shop the day and night away.” With over 200,000 square feet of beautiful space, the Festival offers a stimulating atmosphere of delicious fun as well as Wine Education Classes in the Sensory Garden and Live Cooking Demonstrations in the IKEA Kitchen Alley.”
“The last three Boca Raton Wine and Food Festivals have truly been remarkable,” said Russell Spadaccini, the President and Founder of the event. “They have been successful in building community partnerships that bring the larger community together while teaching and inspiring culinary aficionados attending our destination event.” This year’s festival will include a retail wine store for purchasing featured wines, an organic village, craft beer village, BBQ village and the newly renamed IKEA Kitchen Alley and IKEA Lounge.
