Tickets are available for purchase at Hotel Tropical CasaBlanca on 1st Ave between 10th and 12th street or at Luna Blue Hotel on 26th between 5th and 10th Ave.
Over 25 of the region’s diverse chefs will come together on Saturday, September 5th to show both visitors and residents what makes Playa del Carmen a world class dining destination. The event will be located in the recently renovated city center, Parque Fundadores, from 3pm until 9pm. Organizers anticipate a tremendous turnout with the heaviest traffic occurring after 6pm.
