28 Apr Foodie news: SunFest bites, Cinco fiestas and a favorite bar’s farewell

SunFest bites, Cinco fiestas and a favorite bar’s farewell

That rumbling you hear in downtown West Palm is the sound of a massive, four-day music festival waking to life after a two-year sleep. SunFest is back and it brings with it a rush of concerts (49 of them), art displays, floating bars, interactive murals, finale-worthy fireworks and food, food, food.

If you’re headed to the waterfront in search of fest food, you’ll find some new bites here and there. But mostly, you’ll find the return of many SunFest favorites. You can read about them here.

Speaking of SunFest: If you catch the Melissa Etheridge performance Saturday afternoon, you might catch a glimpse of one of her most devoted fans. Barbara Abernathy will be the smiling woman in the “Etheridge Nation Warriors” T-shirt, holding up hand-made signs bearing song requests and other messages for her music idol. I had the honor of writing about Abernathy’s courageous fight against cancer and how the rock star lifted her on her most difficult days. Food for the soul.

El Camino’s Mariachi fiesta – The Delray Beach taquería, which will open a West Palm outpost soon, will host Mariachi bands to rev up the Cinco vibe on Thursday, May 5. Plus its usual early and late happy hour deals, which include $3 tacos and $5 scratch-made margaritas. Early happy hour runs from 4 to 7 p.m., late night from midnight to closing. (15 NE 2nd Ave., Delray Beach, 561-865-5350)
