The story
Barbados Food and Rum Festival in Bridgetown/island venues
A multi-day, multi-venue food and rum festival held across Bridgetown and coastal properties, combining chef-led dinners, a beachside food and music night, and rum tastings that go beyond sampling into blending and cask technique. It draws visiting and local chefs and rewards travelers who pick a few signature events rather than attempting the whole schedule.
The Barbados Food and Rum Festival began in 2009 as a small tasting weekend built around the island's rum houses and has grown into a multi-day, multi-venue culinary program spanning restaurants, beaches and open-air markets across the island.
