| More than a two-hundred local business sold items like clothing, painted signs and even wine chillers. |
You didn’t have to pay a dime to get inside. The unique location gave businesses east of
the bridge an opportunity to benefit from the large influx of people (all of
the other events in Delray are on Atlantic Avenue west of the
Intracoastal). Festival-goers could stop
at one of several tents along the way to sample wines.
One tent had a wine and food tasting that rotated well-known
restaurants and caterers in our area.
 |
| Doesn't get anymore famous than this, folks. This chef is probably most well-know for... catering my wedding! But, he also had a wine and food pairing at the festival that looked unbelievably delicious! |
Speaking of my wedding, the person who organized this whole
event was none other than my other wedding caterer, who goes by the name of “Irish.” Irish was able to snag some bracelets so we
could drink free.
 |
| We put the bracelets to good use. Thank you, Irish, for contributing to my on-going alochol problem. |
We spent most of our time at a mobile, yes, mobile, bar on
Atlantic Ave. A bar you can drive
around? What will they think of next?!
 |
| One of those lovely bartenders also served at my wedding... thanks Mary Ann! |
Even the pups could get in on the
action.

Even though it was free to enter, there are some costs:
Wine: $8 per glass or $50 for a bracelet (that’s according
to the Sun-Sentinel)
Food: Varied, I paid $12 for conch fritters (delicious!)Seminars: $20 for a wine and food pairing
Parking: $5
And here’s what I actually paid:
Total Cost: $12 for food, $5 for parking = $17
Best Deal: Drinking for free!
