Come hungry: Barbados Food and Rum Festival launch serves up a taste of what’s ahead

Free launch at Stade’s Rum Visitor Centre on October 10 brings together food, mixology and Bajan music

There is something about good food that makes you want to call somebody. A friend who would love the first bite. A relative who insists they know where to find the best version. Someone who was only supposed to stay for a little while, until the music started.

On Saturday, October 10, that invitation leads to Stade’s Rum Visitor Centre, where the Barbados Food and Rum Festival will host its free public launch from 2 p.m. Come hungry, bring your friends and settle in for an afternoon of food samples, live cooking, mixology and Bajan entertainment.
