Beach Bites and Breezy Sips at SAVOR SoFLO
Sips, Sand and Small Bites Set the Tone as SAVOR SoFLO Festival Serves Up a Beachside Tease of What Could Grow Into Something Bigger.
April 19th, 2026
There’s a certain expectation that comes with South Florida food festivals. Massive tents, celebrity chefs, shoulder to shoulder crowds, and an all out sensory overload. The SAVOR SoFLO Festival doesn’t try to be that. Not yet anyway. Instead, it settles into something a bit more relaxed, almost like a warm up round before the main event season kicks into gear.
Set along the shoreline of Hollywood Beach, the festival leaned into its setting. Ocean breeze rolling through, waves crashing just beyond the booths, and a steady flow of hungry visitors pacing themselves from tent to tent. It wasn’t overwhelming. It wasn’t chaotic. It felt approachable.

That said, this wasn’t a full blown feast for the senses. Think of it more as an appetizer. A preview of potential.
The food lineup delivered enough variety to keep things interesting. Small bites, quick hits of flavor, and just enough options to avoid that “did I come all this way for this?” feeling. It didn’t try to outdo the heavy hitters across South Beach, but it didn’t need to. It held its own in a more laid back lane.

Where the event really stayed consistent was behind the bar. Drinks flowed freely, lines stayed manageable, and there was never that awkward moment of scanning the horizon hoping to find your next pour. Whether pacing yourself or leaning all the way in, the beverage side carried a steady rhythm throughout the day.
The split between general admission and upgraded access told its own story. Those who stepped up into the higher tier experience found a noticeably different vibe. More breathing room. Comfortable seating. High top tables that turned grazing into lounging. A curated cluster of vendors that felt just a bit more exclusive. It didn’t just feel like a better ticket. It felt like a different experience entirely.

There were also some added incentives sprinkled in throughout the day. A few prize opportunities gave the crowd an extra reason to stay engaged, including a standout win of a Miami Dolphins autographed jersey from recent draftee “Chop” Robinson that managed to find its way into my hands. Not a bad beach day bonus.
If there’s an area that calls for growth, it’s the entertainment side. The DJ kept things moving with a solid mix that fit the setting, but there wasn’t really a defined space for the energy to build. Good music was there, the crowd was there, but without a spot to actually let loose, it stayed more background than centerpiece. A stronger push with live music, interactive elements, or even a dedicated dance zone could take this from casual stroll to must attend.
Still, there’s something to be said for a festival that doesn’t try to do too much too soon. The bones are there. The setting does a lot of the heavy lifting. And the experience, while not overwhelming, is easy to enjoy.
For now, SAVOR SoFLO sits in that middle ground. Not competing with the giants just yet, but offering a beachside escape that pairs bites and drinks with a laid back South Florida rhythm.
And sometimes, that’s exactly what hits the spot.

Luli Fama Launches Paradise Found Cruise ’27 Swimwear Collection in Miami
Luli Fama celebrates its Paradise Found Cruise ’27 swimwear and resortwear collection with a luxury Miami launch at its Dadeland Mall boutique.
August 20, 2026
Miami swimwear favorite Luli Fama is stepping into Cruise ’27 with Paradise Found, a new swimwear and resortwear collection inspired by tropical escapes, exotic prints and effortless vacation glamour.
South Florida Insider has already taken a closer look at the Luli Fama Paradise Found collection, and it feels made for Miami.
The new Cruise ’27 collection combines the bold, body-confident swimwear Luli Fama is known for with elevated resort pieces designed to move effortlessly from the beach and pool to cocktails and dinner.
On Thursday, August 20, Luli Fama will celebrate Paradise Found with an exclusive evening at its newest Dadeland Mall boutique in Miami, complete with fashion, light bites, personalized surprises, and a luxe espresso martini bar.
Inside Luli Fama’s Paradise Found Cruise ’27 Collection
Paradise Found is inspired by the feeling of discovering a hidden tropical retreat.
Think lush landscapes, warm golden hour light, exotic patterns, and silhouettes made for somewhere beautiful.
The collection features Luli Fama signatures, including flattering ruched details, seamless construction, adjustable fits, and statement swimwear, alongside an expanded selection of resortwear.
We especially love the pieces that blur the line between swim and ready-to-wear.
Flowing dresses, sleek coverups, and body-skimming silhouettes make it easy to transition from a sun-drenched afternoon to an evening out without losing that relaxed resort feeling.
It is sensual, polished, and unmistakably Miami.
Luli Fama Brings Luxury Resort Style to Miami
There is a reason Paradise Found feels so natural in South Florida.
In Miami, resortwear is not reserved for vacation.
A swimsuit can become part of an outfit. A coverup can take you to lunch. A flowing resort dress can carry you from an afternoon by the water straight into cocktails and dinner.
Luli Fama has always understood that lifestyle.
Paradise Found takes it a step further, creating a Cruise ’27 wardrobe that feels as appropriate for a tropical getaway as it does for a weekend in Miami.
The campaign captures that mood beautifully, pairing the collection with palms, lush greenery, tropical architecture and the kind of sun soaked setting that makes you want to extend your vacation indefinitely.
Paradise Found Comes to Luli Fama at Dadeland Mall
Luli Fama will bring the world of Paradise Found to life on Thursday, August 20 from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM at its newest boutique at Dadeland Mall in Miami.
The intimate celebration will bring together invited guests, influencers, celebrities and media for an early look at Cruise ’27.
Luli Fama is also dressing invited guests in pieces from the brand, allowing the new collection to be experienced the way it was designed to be worn: in motion, styled and out for the evening.
Luli After Hours Espresso Martini Bar
Fashion is only part of the experience.
For the Paradise Found celebration, Luli Fama is introducing Luli After Hours, an Espresso Martini Bar inspired by the glamour of the collection.
Guests will be able to sip three specialty espresso martinis created for the evening.
The Luli Babe puts a polished spin on the classic espresso martini, while Golden Hour pairs salted caramel with edible gold shimmer. Miami After Dark takes a richer approach with chocolate hazelnut and a cocoa dust finish.
Along with cocktails, guests can expect light bites, curated details and a special personalized surprise.
The result feels less like a traditional retail event and more like checking into a private resort for the evening.
A Miami Swimwear Brand Celebrates at Home
For a brand with such a strong connection to South Florida, launching Paradise Found in Miami feels especially fitting.
Luli Fama has built its identity around colorful, confident swimwear and resort fashion with a distinctly tropical point of view.
Paradise Found carries that identity into Cruise ’27 while giving it a more elevated, escapist mood.
And with Luli Fama’s newest boutique now at Dadeland Mall, Miami shoppers have another destination to experience the brand in person.
After getting our own closer look at Luli Fama’s Paradise Found Cruise ’27 collection, we can safely say the name fits.
Paradise has officially been found, and this time, it is in Miami.
