You’ve been patiently waiting to be fully vaccinated — and now you’re hungry.

You’re in luck because the annual South Beach Wine & Food Festival still has tickets remaining for several events this week, starting on May 20. All the events are outdoors, including intimate dinners with limited seating.

This won’t be the food festival as you remember it. Capacity has been trimmed to about a third overall to help stem the spread of the novel coronavirus, masks will be required and COVID-sniffing dogs will give you a once over as you enter your event. You also will have to answer a digital health screening and attest to either having passed a coronavirus test less than three days old or be fully vaccinated.

If you check all those boxes, check out these events with tickets still available.
