The Fairmont Miramar Hotel & Bungalows in Santa Monica will host the first annual Hollywood on the Coast Food & Wine Festival tomorrow, beginning at 7 p.m. The event features a curated lineup of culinary talent and beverage partners, with all proceeds from the evening pledged to Variety — The Children’s Charity of Southern California and the Will Rogers Motion Picture Pioneers Foundation.
Event Details and Participation
Host chef Neal Fraser has organized a team of culinary professionals to provide a variety of tasting experiences for the debut festival. The roster of participating chefs includes television personalities, Michelin Guide veterans, and authors such as Josiah Citrin, Ben Ford, Govind Armstrong, and Tal Ronnen.
While all-access and VIP ticket packages are sold out, general admission remains available for purchase. According to the event organizers, the festival will feature unlimited food tastings, craft cocktails, and live entertainment throughout the evening at the Santa Monica venue.
What May Happen Next
As this is the first annual iteration of the event, the festival’s success tomorrow could determine its future as a recurring fixture on the Los Angeles summer calendar. If attendance reaches the anticipated capacity of 750 guests, organizers may look to expand the footprint or duration of the festival in subsequent years.
