Explore The Best Rum Festivals Worldwide in 2026
Elevate your rum experiences and visits to destinations. Visiting a rum festival offers the opportunity to sample spirits and speak directly with the producers. This global list includes an added benefit.
Beside each festival, you will find a link to a Rum Map of the host country. Large festivals often lack local representation, so these maps pinpoint every brand produced in that region. This allows you to locate distilleries or find local rums at nearby bars for a more authentic experience.
Note: There are over 80 events listed here; festival dates are subject to change. Always verify with the official event organisers before booking travel.

While you visit a rum festival, why not extend the festivities at a local rum bar?
Our Rum Bars Map has over 1700 Bars that serve rum in 108 Countries. This is a Bar Atlas of Rum-Focused Bars, Tiki Bars, Tropical Bars, Rooftop Bars, and Caribbean Restaurants. Something for every rum lover!
We’ll update this 2026 rum festival list as more dates are announced.
We added other events because there is local rum to be enjoyed at Mardi Gras, carnivals, harvest festivals, jazz festivals, and soca events, which are places to savour the sugarcane spirit.
To help make this rum festival list better, if you know of a rum festival not on the list or there’s an edit required, please send us a message on our Contact Page or on Insta where you can also tag us in your rum adventures this year.
Take your rum adventures to new levels, and explore the world in your own way!
