Enjoy cuisines from around the world as Sun Sentinel presents the International Food Festival at Boca Center (5250 Town Center Cir. Boca Raton, 33486) on September 16 and 17, 2011.

In honor of Mexican Independence Day we’ll kick off the celebration on Friday September 16.

General admission is free and lasts from 6-10p.m. but you can enjoy the fun an hour early at the VIP hour from 5-6p.m. VIP tickets are $10 and includes one FREE drink.

Saturday September 17, come taste cuisines from around the world to help us kick off Oktoberfest! More than 25 food trucks will be on hand, helping you fill your plate at every stop at Sun Sentinel’s International Food Festival at Boca Center. The event starts at 11 a.m. and lasts until 4 p.m. As evening arrives, from 4-10p.m. join us at English Tap in Boca Center as we kick off Oktoberfest right. Enjoy live music, entertainment and family-friendly activities all day at both events.

Plus, it’s all for a good cause as 20% of ticket sales from Friday’s event, as well as a portion of the proceeds from Rocco’s Tacos will benefit the YMCA of South Palm Beach County.
