Eat, Drink, Play, Repeat: Ribs N Brew Fest in Boca Served Up Fun for All!

February 22nd, 2025

What an unforgettable Saturday night we had at the Ribs N Brew Fest in Boca Raton’s Sunset Cove Amphitheater! The weather couldn’t have been more perfect, and the atmosphere was buzzing with excitement as we tasted mouthwatering ribs, tried out a variety of drinks, and jammed to some awesome live music.

Our taste buds were on fire as we dove into 14 different rib varieties, from classic Cajun and smoky barbecue to tangy honey teriyaki. Every bite was a flavor explosion. Some ribs were so tender they practically fell off the bone! Whether sweet or spicy, each rib was cooked to perfection, leaving us craving more.

But let’s talk about the real standout: Won-Tom’s Asian-styled ribs. The flavors were unlike anything I’ve ever had before—simply divine. A close second were Mistah Lee’s smokey BBQ ribs—absolute perfection for any BBQ lover.

Of course, we couldn’t just stop at the ribs. Tennessee Bob was in the house with his incredible array of sauces. Don’t let the name fool you—his Key Lime BBQ Sauce had a delicious Florida twist that was perfect with the ribs. And if you’re into heat, Hillbilly Hot Sauce was a serious favorite of mine!

For those with a sweet tooth, there were unique desserts from Sweet Missy’s, a deli booth from Uptown Deli, and hearty, Southern comfort food from Grit Bowls. Talk about variety!

As we savored the deliciousness, we washed it all down with local lagers, ales, and craft beers, taking a break to lick our fingers between sips. For those who preferred a non-alcoholic option, there were plenty of refreshing sodas and waters available.

The festival wasn’t just about eating and drinking—there were games galore! From tabletop golf to cornhole, there was something for everyone to enjoy while we grooved to live music from Girlfriend Material (7-10pm) and the funky beats from DJ Boom.

We also had the exciting opportunity to vote for the best ribs and best beer of the night! Rib vendors were competing for a $15,000 cash prize, while breweries were vying for $10,000, with attendees deciding the People’s Choice Beer. It was a fun, flavorful battle!

As the sun set and the fun continued, we were all smiling, bellies full, and already talking about next year’s event. If you weren’t able to make it this year, don’t miss out in 2025!

Ribs N Brew Fest 2026 promises to be even bigger and better, with even more ribs, brews, and games to enjoy. Join them for an epic night out filled with live music, flavor-packed food, and tons of 21+ fun.

Luli Fama Launches Paradise Found Cruise ’27 Swimwear Collection in Miami

Published

on

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.
