For seven years Barbados presented the Food Wine and Rum Festival in November. In 2016 the event was renamed the Barbados Food and Rum Festival. Barbados is a rum producing island so it is only fitting that we show case our world-famous brew! This year, the Barbados Food and Rum Festival will run from November 16th to 19th 2017.
