Get ready, Delray Beach! The much-anticipated Savor the Avenue dining event is set to return on March 23, 2026, and it’s promising a delightful evening filled with culinary experiences. This outdoor dining extravaganza, featuring a four-course meal from a variety of local restaurants, takes place along the Nation’s Longest Dining Table, stretching across five blocks from Swinton Ave. to East Fifth Ave./U.S. 1 on East Atlantic Avenue.
This marks the 17th year of what has become one of the region’s signature events, attracting thousands of residents, visitors, and food lovers. Participants can expect live entertainment, imaginative tablescapes crafted by the restaurants, and a friendly competition for the coveted “Best in Show” table award. Last year, Lemongrass took home first place, followed by Rose’s Daughter and Le Colonial.
Participating Restaurants and Reservations
The lineup for 2026 includes a stellar roster of local dining favorites, such as Avalon Beach House/Campi, Beach Club, City Oyster, and many more. Reservations must be made directly with the participating restaurants, and prices may vary, so be sure to book early as space is limited.
As part of its community spirit, each restaurant will contribute a $500 donation to the INTERFAITH COMMITTEE FOR SOCIAL SERVICES, an organization that provides essential services like shower and laundry programs, emergency mail assistance, and financial help. Since its inception, Savor the Avenue has donated over $85,000 to local charities, making it not only a culinary celebration but also a charitable event.
Event Logistics and Sponsors
With traffic closures on Atlantic Avenue during the event, attendees are encouraged to arrive early to soak in the vibrant atmosphere. The Downtown Development Authority (DDA), established in 1971 to enhance the economic vitality of Downtown Delray Beach, sponsors this event with generous support from various businesses. Top sponsors include Los Linderos Tequila and International Materials, along with several others providing in-kind support.
