Representing tenants and businesses that form the soul of The City Beautiful’s bustling Downtown for over 25 years, The Business Improvement District (BID) of Coral Gables commemorates a prestigious moment for the city this year. Downtown Coral Gables, with its Miracle Mile, is an elegant and sophisticated destination for dining and entertainment. The BID curates special events year round to attract locals and tourists alike to the growing area featuring the inaugural ‘Sip & Savor in the Gables’ event taking place starting July 14 through July 31, 2022.

The menu items will be priced individually ranging from $7-$12 and available daily from 4-7PM throughout the two weeks. Patrons can expect an impressive culinary journey featuring curated cocktails and bites from top chefs and mixologists in Downtown Coral Gables.

“We’re thrilled to launch Sip & Savor as our first-ever summer wide happy hour-esque program to introduce diners to the growing culinary scene in Downtown Gables,” said Aura Reinhardt, Executive Director of the Coral Gables BID. “We’re always striving to give back to the Downtown Coral Gables community and restaurant scene and this event will attract foodies, families, wine lovers and people of all ages to the BID throughout the summer and beyond.”
The two-week program will kick off with an exclusive, special cocktail reception that will take place on July 13 to officially launch Sip & Savor in the Gables to the community.
To celebrate 25 years of thriving business, the Coral Gables BID has launched ongoing events, and creative initiatives that will be showcased throughout 2022: the six concert performances hosted in partnership with the Frost School of Music in Downtown on McBride Plaza, or the Capture Coral Gables photography competition at the CG Museum, Downtown Community clean ups or pop-up Shakespeare shorts in courtyards and gardens throughout town among other events.
