Wynwood Walls

The World Cup is happening in Miami, and Wynwood is fielding its own culinary teams. The Wynwood International Food Festival runs June and July alongside the tournament, turning the neighborhood into a two-month global food trail with 20-plus restaurants each representing a different nation. The entry point is a physical passport — $25, available online or at partner locations — that gets stamped at each stop, with exclusive tasting items priced at $10 or $15 per restaurant. If you upgrade to a shot glass package, you get a welcome shot everywhere you go. The lineup spans Cuba, Japan, Korea, Lebanon, France, India, Italy, Mexico, and the United States, with familiar Wynwood spots like Cerveceria la Tropical, Ghee, Lira Beirut, and Fra Diavolo among the participants. Collect every stamp and you unlock exclusive prizes, not to mention bragging rights for saying you've basically eaten your way through Wynwood. 

The Wynwood BID is turning the neighborhood into its own World Cup experience this summer with Let's Wyn, a six-week scavenger hunt, public art trail, food festival, and watch party series running through the tournament. At its core is Wynwood to the World, a treasure hunt built around 48 country panels hidden throughout the neighborhood, one for each qualifying nation. Find them, earn badges, collect points, and climb a real-time leaderboard for a shot at two tickets to the Bronze Medal Match on July 18 at Hard Rock Stadium. The first 48 fans to complete all 48 country missions win a custom Let’s Wyn World Ball. The Soccer Ball Art Trail showcases 10 hand-painted balls by Paraguayan artist Lili Cantero, whose work has been shown at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar and commissioned by adidas and FIFA, installed at businesses across the district, each representing a past tournament from 1986 to 2022. Free youth soccer clinics for kids ages 6 to 10 run June 27, June 28, July 14, and July 15, hosted with the Fútbol Sin Barreras Foundation. And the Wynwood International Food Festival gives the neighborhood's restaurants a chance to represent global cuisines across the full six-week run, with participating spots including 1800 Lucky, Barcelona Wine Bar, Lira Beirut, and Cotidiano. Registration is free at letswyn.com starting May 26, with full programming launching June 11.
