Mark your calendars! SAVOR SoFLO, presented by Publix and the City of Hollywood, is returning to the sands of Hollywood Beach on March 29 and 30, 2025, with a festival that promises to be its most exciting yet. This year, SAVOR SoFLO celebrates its 5th anniversary alongside two monumental milestones: the 100th anniversary of the City of Hollywood and the 10th anniversary of Margaritaville Hollywood Beach Resort, the Festival’s host hotel.
Known as one of South Florida’s premier culinary festivals, SAVOR SoFLO showcases a vibrant mix of gourmet cuisine, fine wines, craft beers and spirits. Guests can enjoy an immersive taste of South Florida’s culinary excellence under two grand tents spanning over 25,000 square feet of beachfront space on the iconic Hollywood Broadwalk, with the Atlantic Ocean as a picturesque backdrop.
In line with the City of Hollywood’s sustainability efforts, SAVOR SoFLO and all participating vendors utilize compostable or biodegradable materials throughout the event to reduce environmental impact and keep Hollywood Beach clean.

“SAVOR SoFLO has become a beloved tradition, and we’re thrilled to celebrate our fifth year alongside the City of Hollywood’s 100th anniversary and Margaritaville Hollywood Beach Resort’s 10th anniversary – two historic milestones,” said Tammy Gail, founder and producer of SAVOR SoFLO. “Both the City of Hollywood and Margaritaville have been incredible partners throughout the years, helping us bring this festival to life and showcasing South Florida’s vibrant culinary scene, while offering unforgettable experiences on the beautiful Hollywood Beach.
