New Tamarac festival set for April 17 combines local flavor, live music and community energy into one evening celebration

Tamarac, Florida – An evening built on flavor, rhythm, and connection is taking shape in Tamarac, where city leaders are preparing to introduce a new tradition designed to bring people together in a fresh and memorable way.
The Tamarac Food & Wine Festival, set to take place at the Tamarac Village Amphitheater in Broward County on April 17 from 6-9 p.m., is being positioned as more than a single-night event. It is a reflection of a growing city eager to celebrate its identity through food, culture, and shared experiences.
As anticipation builds, the festival promises a sensory journey that blends culinary creativity with a lively social atmosphere.
Guests will be invited to explore a wide range of tastes, from carefully selected wines to dishes prepared by local chefs and popular food trucks. Chef demonstrations will add an interactive element to the evening, offering attendees a closer look at the techniques and inspiration behind the flavors.
The event is designed to encourage discovery, giving visitors the chance to sample something new while connecting with the people and stories behind the food.
Music will play a central role in shaping the night’s energy. A headline performance by international recording artist Busy Signal is expected to transform the amphitheater into a vibrant gathering space, where live entertainment carries the celebration well into the evening.
The combination of sound, taste, and atmosphere is intended to create an experience that feels both dynamic and welcoming.
The festival also introduces a tiered experience for attendees. General admission offers free entry, access to performances, and the opportunity to purchase food and wine throughout the venue.
