One of Central Florida’s biggest culinary fundraising events is returning to Winter Park this fall. Cows ’n Cabs, presented by HostDime, will celebrate its 14th year with two nights of food, wine, spirits and live music on November 5 and 7, 2026.

Last year alone, Cows ’n Cabs raised $1,088,000, bringing its total community impact to more than $4.1 million since its inception.
