What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Few Caribbean destinations bundle as many distinct culinary formats into one coordinated month as Antigua and Barbuda does, spanning budget-friendly Restaurant Week dining, casual Eat Like a Local street food exploration, a full festival at the Food, Art and Beverage Festival, and an industry-facing symposium at the Caribbean Food Forum

02

The mystery stays covered

Drawing participating chefs of Caribbean heritage from well beyond the islands themselves also gives the month a genuinely international culinary dimension

03

The city starts moving

Having grown steadily since its 2023 launch also reflects a deliberate, sustained tourism strategy rather than a one-off promotional event
