Wynwood’s Smorgasburg Miami will reopen for its 2025–2026 season on October 4 and 5, bringing back the city’s beloved weekend ritual of open-air dining, community connection, and culinary discovery. More than just a food market, Smorgasburg has evolved into a launchpad for Miami’s rising culinary entrepreneurs, offering them a low-barrier, high-impact platform to test ideas, refine concepts, and build loyal followings.

This year’s season kicks off with a full-scale celebration, the inaugural Fresh Picks Beer Fest on Saturday, October 4. Over 15 breweries, from local stars like Tripping Animals Brewing to acclaimed names such as Other Half NYC, Threes Brewing, and Ambrosia Elixirs, will join the market’s 40+ vendors for a day of craft pours, standout food pairings, live music, contests, and games. Beer samples will be available via a token system ($25 for 5 tokens), each redeemable for one pour.

When the gates reopen, guests will find more than 40 local food, beverage, and retail vendors, including over 15 debuting concepts. The offerings reflect Miami’s rich culinary diversity, spanning bold global street food to inventive desserts.

Newcomers include:

• Arepa Xpress – Colombian/Venezuelan fusion arepas
  

• Buscia’s – Polish buns
  

• DVASH – Mediterranean fusion
  

• Flamingo Bubble Waffles – Sweet & savory bubble waffles
  

• Ikigai Sushi Catering – Omakase and Japanese sushi
  

• Makana Kava Gastrobar – Hawaiian fusion
  

• Mori Matcha – Japanese matcha desserts & drinks
  

• Piadina 305 – Italian flatbreads (piadina)
  

• Platano Power – Dominican cuisine
  

• Primoo Boba – Taiwanese boba tea
  

• Toasted – Gourmet sandwiches & melts

Returning favorites like Tasty T’s, The Lazy Oyster, La Birrieria Tijuana, La Picaña Grill, Korean Kitchen, and Kabuki Soba ensure that longtime fans can revisit their go-to dishes alongside discovering new ones.

Anchoring the market this season is the debut of the Boat Bar, a striking new focal point for Smorgasburg’s beverage program. Featuring a curated spritz menu and signature cocktails, it’s designed as a social hub for guests to gather between tastings.

Adding depth to this year’s programming is No Reservations, a Sunday series launching October 12 in collaboration with Humans of the Kitchen. Over ten Sundays, line cooks, sous chefs, and emerging culinary talent will take over a dedicated pop-up container kitchen for a one-day residency.

Some participants will be nominated by Miami’s top chefs, while others will earn their spot via open applications judged on creativity and personal storytelling. The kitchen is free to use, with 100% of profits going directly to the cook, offering an invaluable platform for new talent to present their food without financial risk. The final lineup will be announced September 15.

Located at 2600 NW 2nd Avenue, Smorgasburg Miami is a weekend community hub. Open Saturdays and Sundays from 12 p.m. to 8 p.m., the family-friendly market blends food, culture, and entertainment in a space that encourages exploration and connection.
