The annual Rum and Rhythms Festival is returning to Coconut Bay this fall October 18-November 1, 2025. In the Caribbean, rum is more than just a beverage. It’s an integral part of the island culture. Barbados is honored as the birthplace of rum in the 1700s, but Saint Lucia joined the game in the 1900s and has since developed a distinctive array of options. At our festival, we celebrate rum drinks including the best selections from our region in an exciting event you don’t want to miss.
Taste Your Way Across the Caribbean
The Rum and Rhythms festival highlights a variety of distinctive rums. You can taste a wide range of local and regional Caribbean blends. Look for favorites like Saint Lucia’s Marigot Bay, Crystal Lime, Bounty Rum, Kweyol Spice Rum, Crystal White Rum, and more. But don’t stop there, sample rums from Jamaica, Barbados, Martinique, Puerto Rico and several other islands. There are new flavors to sample every day of the festival.
You can’t do all your rum tasting on an empty stomach. Fortunately, our festival includes a variety of culinary delights that pair perfectly with our signature cocktails. We recommend one of our fresh seafood dishes with light rum, dark rum with our famous jerk chicken, and spiced rum with sweet desserts.
Dance Under the Stars
