I’ve attended both the 2016 and 2017 Charleston Rum Fest. After a great first year, last year’s festival was a bit of a disappoint where many attendees left early due to a smaller rum selection and lower quality cocktail offerings.

I am always happy to see attendees excited to learn about rum so I have my fingers crossed they can return to the first year’s goodness. The food is always top notch and every rum festival brings a few surprises. While I am not confirmed to attend this year I do hope some of you will check it out on Saturday, June 23, 2018.

From Charleston Rum Fest:

Tie up your neighbor!
Gamble your pirate booty!
And drink the plank in the wildest night of debauchery!

​
Enjoy unlimited tastings from 16 chefs while sipping our 35 life-altering cocktails.
​
Steel drum music followed with beats from DJ Natty Heavy make this an epic night.

Don’t miss the Bacardi Bat Cave, the Blue Chair Bay Dance Floor and the wildest photo booth in town featuring the Kraken monster.
