The story

Cayman Cocktail Week in George Town

Cayman Cocktail Week runs for about a week each late October across more than 30 bars and restaurants on Grand Cayman, including venues in George Town, featuring themed cocktail menus built around local produce and spirits brand partnerships, overlapping with Cayman Restaurant Month. Smart-casual evening wear suits most participating venues, and a light layer helps for air-conditioned indoor spaces contrasted with warm October evenings outdoors.

Cayman Cocktail Week has built the Cayman Islands' claim to being the Caribbean's cocktail capital over more than a decade of annual editions, with recent runs marking their thirteenth year and spanning roughly a week in late October.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

What sets Cocktail Week apart is its distributed, island-wide bar-crawl format rather than a single festival ground, spanning over 30 venues creating competing and complementary cocktail menus for the same week

02

The mystery stays covered

Its overlap with Restaurant Month gives October a distinct dual identity on Cayman's calendar, and its multi-year run, now past a decade, has helped anchor Grand Cayman's self-marketed identity as the Caribbean's cocktail capital

03

The city starts moving

Its founding predates most of Cayman's imported-headliner music festivals, giving it a longer track record than newer entries like Capella or Out of This World Music Fest on the islands' broader events calendar
