Taste of the NFL's Party with a Purpose Touches Down in South Florida + The Kick Hunger Challenge

It’s an exciting time for South Floridians as we host Super Bowl LIV at the Hard Rock Stadium. This year, along with the excitement of the game comes the iconic Party with a Purpose® by Taste of the NFL. This year, for its 29th year, the event will be held on Saturday, February 1, 2020 at The Diplomat Beach Resort in Hollywood, Florida.

The Taste of the NFL’s annual star-studded strolling wine and food event brings together exceptional cuisine, over 40 prominent chefs from around the country, NFL players, coaches, legends, celebrities, and more, all to support the fight against hunger. The nationwide fundraising campaign’s net proceeds directly support food banks nationwide. The event will feature a chef from each NFL city serving their signature dish alongside a current or alumni NFL player.
