Barbados is often referred to as the Culinary Capital of the Caribbean. The Barbados Food and Rum Festival has given birth to a series of events, or better yet – culinary and beverage experiences – designed to tantalize the taste buds, while offering a variety of other colourful and flavourful experiences to stimulate the other senses as well.

The lineup includes; the Festival Opening at the Oistins Bay Gardens; The Signature Rum Event at Limegrove Lifestyle Centre, with food and rum samples on the Friday ; followed by the Dine Around event on Saturday night which offers a wide selection of local restaurants hosted by the best of our local chefs. The festival climaxes on Sunday with an afternoon at polo paired with rum cocktails and canapes.
