The 2024 Heritage Fire Tour kicks off in Tampa on April 21, followed by stops in 12 additional cities across the U.S., including Atlanta (April 28), Austin (May 5), the Twin Cities (May 19), Savannah (June 2), Nashville (June 23), Asheville (July 14), Snowmass (July 27), Napa (August 18), Willamette Valley (September 8), Los Angeles (October 6) and Miami (November 10), before wrapping up in Charleston on December 3. Each of the all-inclusive outdoor destinations features tastes from 18+ top local chefs who will compete for the title of their city’s Heritage Hero.
