Taste of the Caribbean Festival 2026 at Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden

Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden trades its usual quiet for a full day of island flavor when Taste of the Caribbean returns for 2026, bringing Caribbean food and culture to the garden's grounds in Coral Gables under the banner "An Island's Takeover."

A Culinary Trip Through the Islands

The one-day festival centers on a culinary journey through Caribbean cuisine, with dishes meant to reflect the region's history and culture rather than any single country's food. It's built as a walk-around tasting experience set against Fairchild's tropical landscaping, pairing the garden's setting with island flavors.
