Hialeah Food & Wine to kick off city's centennial at Hialeah Park Casino
Summary
Organizers say Hialeah Food & Wine will open Hialeah’s centennial Saturday at Hialeah Park Casino, with doors at 6 p.m., $55 tickets and a closing concert tribute.
HIALEAH, Fla. — George, a representative of La Bodeguita, said Hialeah Food & Wine will open Hialeah’s centennial celebrations Saturday at Hialeah Park Casino, with doors at 6 p.m. and tickets priced at $55 that organizers say include food and drinks from participating local restaurants.
Organizers described the event as a citywide tasting and beverage showcase meant to celebrate Hialeah’s 100th anniversary. “Las puertas abren a las seis de la noche. Los boletos cuestan cincuenta y cinco dólares, incluye todo probar, tomar, diferentes bebidas, licores, platos de todos los restaurantes de la ciudad de Jialeah,” George said.
Why it matters: the event gathers multiple local restaurants and vendors for a single-ticket tasting format during a year of centennial programming, offering marketing and sales opportunities for local hospitality businesses and an organized celebration for residents.
Michael, identified in the segment as a founder of the event when it began in 2018, said the festival had a successful trial in 2018, paused during the COVID-19 pandemic and is now returning with support from collaborators. “Pues nada, el evento sí se se se empezó en el dos mil dieciocho, se hizo una prueba a ver si podía funcionar en Hialeah, realidad fue un éxito. Covid vino después y, bueno, las cosas cambiaron un poco. Gracias a Esteban Bou ahora estamos en colaboración para para para volverlo a traer y que se quede,” Michael said.
Organizers said the festival will include a tapas-and-wine area called “Feschuba,” a cocktail experience and other zones showcasing restaurants and beverage vendors. The evening will close with a concert paying tribute to the Gipsy Kings, organizers said. George directed listeners seeking tickets or more information to Eventbrite, saying the event page lists further details.
Details confirmed in the segment: doors open at 6 p.m., ticket price $55 (covers tastings and drinks), location Hialeah Park Casino, event areas include a tapas-and-wine section and a cocktail experience, and a closing concert tribute. The festival traces to a 2018 trial and was later paused during the COVID period; local collaborator Esteban Bou was named as helping relaunch the event.
Organizers encouraged residents to attend the Saturday evening event as part of Hialeah’s centennial calendar.
