Experience food, drinks, music, and entertainment from countries all around the world.
Each country will serve you 3 of their popular dishes to sample tapas style while you enjoy live entertainment.
Food is only $5 per plate portioned to leave room for more so that you can try multiple countries (3 portions will be similar to a full meal). A full bar is available to purchase any drink of your choosing or perhaps select one of our featured flight pairings designed to match a cultural region.
When you’re done hopping from country to country tasting great food, visit our dessert utopia where you can have desserts from around the world.
This event is fun for the whole family.
Kids up to age 15 are free.
