Food and Drink Festivals in the Cayman Islands



Whether you’re a local, new in town, or just passing through, there are many fun-filled food and drink festivals to enjoy in the Cayman Islands throughout the year. Here are a few recommendations from Jacques Scott Wines & Spirits.

January in Grand Cayman features the Taste of Cayman Food and Drink Festival. Held in Camana Bay, it brings together restaurants, bars and vendors from around the island to celebrate the Island’s delicious food and drinks. There are competitions and awards for Cayman’s Favourite Restaurant as well as the Seven Fathoms Rum Challenge, which determines the Taste of Cayman Mixologist of the Year.

Also in January, head to The Ritz-Carlton Grand Cayman on Seven Mile Beach for the annual Cayman Cookout, where you can enjoy cooking demonstrations, tastings, tours, dinners and wine pairings from world-renowned celebrity chefs and mixology experts over four fun-filled days.

Held annually in late October, Cayman Cocktail Week highlights the cocktail culture of Cayman’s best bartenders, bars and restaurants with an amazing array of cocktail parties, culinary events and tastings. Meet top industry professionals, learn how to make your own gin, or go on a historical cocktail tour.

In early November, experience the history and heritage of the Cayman Islands through traditional food and drinks, music, parades, street dances and competitions at the annual Pirates Week Festival. Festivities begin on Cayman Brac, continue with a “pirate” invasion and capture of the Governor in Hog Sty Bay on Grand Cayman, and end with a parade, BBQ and fireworks on Little Cayman.
