Hosted by local culinary sweetheart and James-Beard Award-Winning Chef Michelle Bernstein, Swine & Wine comes back to close out the festival and commemorate the art of suckling pig. Michy and her fellow colleagues and pig slayers will each conjure up their best all-natural and farm-raised caja china to the audience’s delight; $150; SoBeFest.com/Swine. — Carla Torres

Join Emeril Lagasse and American Rock Legend Sammy Hagar beachside at The Delano as they serenade and nourish attendees with classic guitar tunes and copious amounts of Cabo Wabo Tequila and Sammy’s Beach Bar Rum while admiring the stars above and listening to the waves crash at Sammy Hagar’s Rockin’ Beach Party; $95; SoBeFest.com/BeachParty. — Carla Torres
