On Saturday, local entrepreneur and event creator Brad Matthews launches Desserts After Dark, a grownups-only spinoff of his popular Miami-born event Dessert Wars, one of the largest dessert-themed festivals in the U.S. More than 40 vendors at River Landing will pair boozy desserts with spirits, beer, and more, including ice cream and confection creators to distilleries, breweries, and wineries. General admission and VIP tickets include a custom five-ounce beer glass, a Dessert Wars T-shirt, and access to all vendors, with one-hour early admission for VIP ticket holders. As with Dessert Wars, two competitions will take place – one for food and another for beverages – to decide the city’s top vendors. 4 to 8 p.m. Saturday, January 29, at River Landing Miami, 1400 NW North River Dr., Miami. Tickets cost $55 to $75 at dessert-wars.com.
