The Food Network & Cooking Channel South Beach Wine & Food Festival presented by Capital One (SOBEWFF®) today announced the launch of the SOBEWFF® Artisan Food Market on Lincoln Road in partnership with the Lincoln Road Business Improvement District (LRBID). The new outdoor market, taking place monthly, aims to support small local culinary businesses affected by the ongoing pandemic all while drawing visitors and locals alike to the iconic Miami Beach street. Each market will feature a rotating roster of Miami’s best eats, giving local businesses an opportunity to showcase and sell their artisanal creations.

“We want this market to serve as a platform that helps re-energize and reinvigorate the local culinary community,” said Festival Founder & Director, Lee Brian Schrager. “These hard-working small businesses are focused on producing some of the city’s most authentic and high-quality eats and we want to encourage people to drop by and support them while simultaneously enjoying all that Lincoln Road has to offer.”

“Our mission has always been to encourage the continued development of a diverse and dynamic setting for businesses throughout our historic district,” said the Vice President of the Lincoln Road Board, Lyle Stern. “Lincoln Road is the heart of our community and we feel that this artisan food market will help shine a light on our iconic street and its inimitable culture.”

The first market will be held on Sunday, January 24 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. featuring a specially curated line-up by Samantha Schnur aka @TheNaughtyFork – a longtime Festival friend and expert food connoisseur. Confirmed vendors to date include:
