Vujaday festival started in 2018 by Ryan Kruger, who is a co-founder of this festival. This festival takes place in the islands of Barbados. The third edition of this amazing festival is expected to happen in February 2022. It is a festival of music and dance that is held in a number of places at once across the island making sure each day visitors get a unique experience. Attendees will get to experience beautiful tropical island nature, lush landscapes as well as music parties on palm-covered beaches under a golden island sun.
Vujaday Music festival is deemed to be the biggest electronic event in Barbados. Local artists along with some internationally renowned DJs will be performing at this festival, experimenting with effects and creating songs for the occasion. It is purely based on crowded sentiment, giving them the best experience like never before. The fans never stop moving, the dance rhythm keeps them on their feet, getting in the mood as they dance on the beach.
What is truly remarkable about this festival is a sense of joy and community. Visitors would be treated with respect and dignity. They would never find any pushing and shoving. It is a perfect event to connect with people over 5 days of rhythm across 1 magical island.

Barbados Food And Rum Festival

Every year, from October 27 to October 31, the Barbados Food and Rum Festival commemorates the island’s rum heritage. Rum is a 40% alcohol alcoholic beverage manufactured from local sugar cane. Thousands of Rum and gastronomy fans go to the event to sample the distinct flavors of local food and revel in the festive ambiance of the Caribbean.

One of the pleasures of visiting the Caribbean is the opportunity to try some outstanding rums. The Barbados Food and Rum Festival is a fantastic way to learn about Barbados rum while sampling some of the greatest Caribbean cuisines. Barbados is rapidly promoting itself as a gastronomic destination. The Barbados Food and Rum Festival’s theme was ‘The Story of Rum from Then to Now,’ which combined rum with delicious Bajan cuisine.

From street sellers to wonderful beach cuisine to luxury dining of the greatest standard, there is something for everyone. The cuisine events take place at various locations around the island, with Bajan eateries producing unique menus for the four days. These will be published on the event website in the coming weeks, but expect lobster and a lot of fresh seafood. Flying fish and cou cou salt bread, fish cakes, breadfruit, and dessert will all be creatively interpreted traditional local delicacies.

Try the mature Barbados rums, as a personal recommendation. A single malt rum is similar to an ancient rum. It doesn’t require any embellishment. Simply relax in a comfy chair, let the world go by, and savor the caravan of tastes as the rum passes through your mouth. This four-day festival of eating and drinking Barbadian tastes begins at the renowned Oistins Fish Market and continues throughout the island to beaches, hotels, and even a themed Polo match.
