West Palm Beach is about to welcome its first true citywide culinary festival. Related Ross is expanding its long-running Taste of CityPlace into Taste of West Palm Beach, a full-scale dining event presented by DoorDash. More than 30 of the city's restaurants will gather for one night, Friday, October 16, 2026, with every dollar from ticket sales going directly to the Palm Beach County Food Bank.
More than 30 restaurants, spanning neighborhood fixtures and newer arrivals, will set up signature tastings and chef-led experiences across CityPlace's open-air footprint. Brand activations, live entertainment, and a specialty bar round out the evening.
For the first time, VIP programming carries its own dedicated infrastructure, with the DoorDash VIP Lounge on the CityPlace lawn opening at 5:00 p.m. — a full hour before general admission doors. It comes with lounge seating, a dedicated bar, and a signature photo moment.
Eataly, which opened its West Palm Beach location at CityPlace, is bringing one of the night's more theatrical activations. Its Italian Pit Stop will pair striking car displays with a bespoke VIP area and a 60-second immersive experience. Bank of America rounds out the signature partner tier alongside Eataly and presenting sponsor DoorDash.
The confirmed restaurant lineup reads like a cross-section of where West Palm Beach dining actually stands in 2026. Moody Tongue Sushi, Maman, Fuku, Moxies, Galley, Ela Curry & Cocktails, and Mango Mercado, which announced its own CityPlace expansion earlier this year, are all confirmed. So are El Camino, Felice, Popup Bagels, Hive Bakery & Cafe, True Food Kitchen, Malka, Harry's, Adrienne's, The Blue Door, Del Mar, Kitchen Restaurant, The Ben Hotel, and Sloan's. Additional restaurants, culinary collaborations, and programming are still to be announced in the weeks before October 16.
