About this Event

West Michigan’s biggest night in food and drink is back.
Now in its fifth year, the West Michigan Food and Beverage Awards brings together chefs, bartenders, restaurateurs, brewers, and beverage pros for a night that’s all about celebrating the people and places that make this industry unforgettable.

Presented by The Tip Jar Foundation, this black-tie, ticketed event is open to the public, so whether you're in the industry or just love great food and drink, you’re invited.

The Experience:

  • A four-course seated dinner with wine service (menu to be announced)
  • Live award ceremony recognizing the best in 19 categories, finalists announced this December
  • Cocktail hour to kick things off and an industry-fueled after party to close the night
  • Proceeds from the event support The Tip Jar Foundation’s mission to provide scholarships and career development for hospitality professionals across West Michigan.

A huge thank you to our Title Sponsor, Alliance Beverage, for their continued support of West Michigan’s hospitality community.

Celebrate the people behind the plate.
Tickets are limited, secure your seat at the table.
