This is the event you don’t want to miss!

Each 4-course dinner is paired with select wines that are donated by local beverage distributors to each restaurant. The menus can be viewed at bocamag.com/savor and downtowndelraybeach.com/savor-and-tastemakers.  Reservations are made with the restaurants directly, and seating is limited.

The DDA is proud to announce that a portion of the proceeds from Savor the Avenue will be donated to the Delray Beach Historical Society. Restaurants will donate $3.00 of each reservation to this non-profit so that present and future generations can comprehend more fully their predecessors, their communities and Delray Beach’s diverse history.

This Delray Beach culinary tradition is made possible by the Delray Beach Magazine’s partnership with the Delray Beach Downtown Development Authority (DDA), and is a way of showcasing the collection of fine dining establishments located within the downtown area. As an economic development focused program for the DDA, the event has grown over the years to be one of the premier dining events in the area, and even the country. “We are pleased to have been a part of this very special and unique event for the past eight years as a way to share with the local and tourist community this incredibly social dining experience,” said Laura Simon, Executive Director, DDA.

Savor the Avenue is sponsored by: Delray Beach Magazine, Boca Raton Magazine, Delray Beach Downtown Development Authority, Atlantic One Realty, South Florida BMW, 111 First Delray, Atlas Party Rental, and The Hyatt Place Delray Beach.
