February Faves: 6 Events Not to Miss
From food and arts fest to pro sports tournaments, February is jam-packed with some of the season’s best events. Here are 6 we are really looking forward to.
FEBRUARY 13–22: DELRAY BEACH OPEN
Every year, tens of thousands of tennis lovers flock to the Delray Beach Stadium & Tennis Center for 10 days of court-side excitement—plus special food and wine events, live musical performances, pro clinics, and more.
The open hosts two different main tennis events: the ATP 250 and the Legends Event. At the ATP 250, watch some of the top ATP-ranked players in the world—including USA’s Taylor Fritz and Tommy Paul and Norway’s Casper Ruud—battle it out on the court in both singles and doubles play February 16 to 22. And February 13-15, watch legends like Juan Martin Del Potro (Argentina), Bob and Mike Bryan (USA), Tommy Haas (Germany), and Jan-Michael Gambill (USA) go head to head. You can purchase tickets to individual matches (including courtside boxes and on-court seats!) at delraybeachopen.com.
But this event has so much more going on than tennis—like the incredible Food & Wine Series! The series comprises multiple tasting events, luncheons, and cocktail receptions (which collectively include more than 40 local restaurants, food purveyors, and spirit partners). Partake in a wide variety of food and drinks in the Hospitality Pavilion at the Grand Tasting Event February 17. Sample juicy burgers and tasty beers and bourbons at Burgers, Bourbon, and Brew February 18. Indulge in Italian favorites at Serve & Savor February 21. Or enjoy a Championship Brunch, 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., Friday through Sunday.
There are also some amazing opportunities to meet (and play with) ATP pros and mingle at the Mixed Doubles Mega-Mixer. The open also features special events for kids February 14, a wheelchair showcase February 20, and a tennis clinic for kids on the autism spectrum February 15.

FEBRUARY 19-22: SOUTH BEACH WINE & FOOD FESTIVAL
We all know that Miami knows how to throw a party, so it’s no surprise that their 25th SoBe WFF is on track to be major. The four-day, star-studded event will showcase some of the world’s most renowned wine and spirits producers, chefs, and culinary personalities—plus the talents of some A-list entertainers.
The food, wine, and spirits expertise is off the charts (and the list is way too long to post), but just be prepared to be wowed. There are 500-plus culinary experts heading to South Beach for the event, including Food Network personalities like Guy Fieri, Bobby Flay, Aarti Sequeira, and more.
There are more than 100 food and beverage–related events slated throughout the weekend, including daytime brunches and lunches, intimate dinners, master classes, and late might parties. Check out the full list of events (and reserve a space) here.
You can always count on Miami to bring the star power, and some of the entertainers coming to South Beach include Rev Run, Neil Patrick Harris, Sofia Vergara, Brooklyn Beckham, Diplo, Fat Joe, and so many more.
The SoBe WFF is about more than a good time—education is a key component of the annual event. All net proceeds from the festival benefit the Florida International University Chaplin School of Hospitality & Tourism Management.
FEBRUARY 20-21: PINKBALL FUNDRAISER
Now in its 15th year, the annual Pinkball event in Boca Raton is dedicated to the fight against breast cancer. Pinkball was founded by baseball moms to raise money for screening and diagnostic mammograms and breast ultrasounds for women in our community who are uninsured or under insured who may not qualify for other types of grants/funds.
Head to the South County Regional Park softball fields on February 21 for a full day of friendly fun. Register to play softball or kickball (pre-registration required) or just come by to show your support. When you’re off the field, enjoy activities like food, bounce houses, raffle prizes, and more. The day culminates with a Celebrity All-Star Game, where pro athletes take on local first responders.
On the eve of the big event, there is an All-Star Dinner Auction, where you can dine and mingle with legendary athletes at the Boca Grove Country Club. Click here to reserve a seat at the table ($250).
