As this year’s event falls in the same month as Barbados’ 50th year as an independent nation, the event is slated to be the best one yet. It is planned that the Food and Rum Festival will anchor a full month of culinary celebration. As the event is followed closely by Independence Day the event culminates a year of celebrating Barbados’ 50th birthday and should be quite a party.
