It's that time of year again, and the South Beach Wine & Food Festival (SOBEWFF) is back in town from February 21 to February 25. Most food festivals include gluttonous eating and drinking but, don't worry, we got you. Here's a breakdown on events you can enjoy without breaking your macros or wallet.Below are weekend events ticketed at less than $100 (major steals) that align to STAYing FIT, but still allow us foodies to indulge a bit.
