BARBADOS – Imagine being served plates of food, enjoying endless cocktails, and listening to great music until sunrise.
That was the experience Our Denielle Miller encountered at one of the events hosted during Barbados’ Food and Rum Festival.
The party is said to be one of the celebration’s most anticipated events, and Denielle says she can see why.
The Rise and Rum All Inclusive breakfast party at Copacabana Beach Club combined delicious food, spirit-filled drinks, and an enjoyable atmosphere sure to wake up even the sleepiest guests.
The event began at 5am. We arrived shortly after 6 and were welcomed by a long line.
Inside, guests participated in photo activations, received large handheld fans, and visited numerous food and drink booths arranged around the venue.
These were hosted by the festival’s headlining chefs and mixologists.
The crowd, dressed in the designated sunrise-yellow attire, brought an elevated touch to the theme.
Then there were the performances by Bajan artists.
The lineup included Shanta Prince, Sugahrhe, Shaquille GFG, Leadpipe & Saddis, among others.
Every performer, including the DJs, took to the stage with a distinctive energy that comes from the essence of the island.
The energy was contagious, paired the sand beneath our feet added a sense of freedom, extending that energy beyond the stage and into the audience.
But the day didn’t just belong to the singers, the dancers showed out as well.
Janea, a visitor from the U.S. said she experienced a taste of Barbados during the island’s Crop Over festival. The emotions it stirred left her wanting more.
