The City of Tamarac is preparing to introduce a new signature cultural event with the launch of the Tamarac Food & Wine Festival, an evening celebration designed to showcase the city’s culinary diversity, local talent and growing sense of community.
Set to take place at the Tamarac Village Amphitheater in Broward County, the inaugural festival will blend food, wine and live entertainment in an open-air setting, bringing together residents and visitors for what city officials describe as a vibrant, immersive experience.
Guests attending the event will be treated to curated wine tastings, chef-led culinary demonstrations and a wide selection of dishes from local chefs and popular food trucks. Organizers say the goal is to highlight the range of flavors that define Tamarac’s evolving food scene, while also giving attendees the opportunity to discover new cuisines and support small businesses.
The festival will also feature a lineup of live entertainment throughout the evening, culminating in a headline performance by international recording artist Busy Signal. Known for his energetic stage presence and global dancehall hits, Busy Signal is expected to deliver a high-energy set that will anchor the night’s festivities.
In addition to general admission, the event will offer a premium VIP experience designed for guests seeking a more elevated outing. VIP ticket holders will have access to a private lounge with cocktail-style seating, reserved viewing areas for performances and a dedicated tasting section featuring at least six specialty food stations. The package also includes two curated wine tasting experiences and convenient onsite parking.
Festival organizers say the VIP option is intended to provide a more intimate and comfortable setting while still allowing guests to fully enjoy the broader event atmosphere.
Parking accommodations have also been arranged to manage expected crowds. Onsite parking will be reserved for VIP attendees, while general admission guests are encouraged to utilize free offsite parking at the Tamarac Community Center and Tamarac City Hall. Continuous shuttle service will operate between these locations and the festival grounds from 5:30 p.m. to 10 p.m.
Tickets for the VIP experience are currently available at an early bird rate of $50 through March 31, after which they will increase to $85.
City officials say the launch of the Tamarac Food & Wine Festival reflects the municipality’s continued growth and its commitment to creating engaging, community-focused events.
