Paws Patio Food Fest

Dog moms and dog dads, this one's for you. On Saturday, April 4, the InterContinental Miami's Picante Terrace transforms into an al fresco pet marketplace for the fifth annual Paws Patio Food Fest — a tail-wagging afternoon of puppy playdates, treat tastings, vendor discoveries and Biscayne Bay views. This year's festivities are "hosted" by doggie influencers Pretzel and Gummy Bear, two Shih Tzus who take their executive chef duties very seriously. Each ticket comes with a Fur-ever Passport of Treats, your guide to sampling from a lineup of local vendors including Lulu & Bellas Bakeshop, Jaffee's Bone Broth and Yum Pup, plus tastings from Chewy's new Get Real food line. Local rescue nonprofit Rescue Paws FL will also be on hand hosting raffles, so you may just leave with more than you bargained for. Admission is free for humans; pup tickets are $18 in advance and $25 at the door.
