The 23rd Annual Dishes & Wishes returns to Armature Works for the second year in a row. If all goes well (read: a sellout) the South Florida Make-A-Wish chapter will be able to grant wishes to 25 Bay area kids diagnosed with a critical illness. Attendees can sample 15 of the area’s top restaurants including Besito Mexican, Cooper’s Hawk, and Empamamas alongside breweries like 3 Daughters, 81Bay Brewing, and Coppertail Brewing Co. Did we mention the open bar? Live music and silent auctions will also provide entertainment throughout the evening.

Fri. Oct 25, 7 p.m.-11 p.m. $150 & up. Armature Works, 1910 N. Ola Ave., Tampa. dishesandwishestampa.com.
