The 76th installment, which takes place at Miami Marine Stadium for the second year in a row, is adding a new type of guest to the list: gastronome.

The Taste of Miami Boat Show,
a weekend-long, festival-wide culinary program, features more than 150 different dining options—ranging from high- priced, chef-driven fare to casual, homestyle grub—across food trucks, kiosks and carts. First-year partners Great Performances (caterer to the Miami Open and New York City
