Since its launch, the Saba Rum & Lobster Fest has grown into a much-anticipated celebration of the island’s culinary culture and hospitality. This year’s program offers a different experience each day, from an elevated opening-night dinner to the lively Rum Crawl and a waterfront celebration at the Home of the Fishermen.
The festivities begin on Thursday, November 19, with Island Indulgence, the official opening of Rum & Lobster Fest. Hosted at Saba’s newest restaurant, Island Paradise Bistro, the evening will offer an elevated rum and lobster dining experience accompanied by live jazz music.
On Friday, November 20, the festival moves into Windwardside for the Rum Crawl: Rhythm Night Edition. Participants can make their way through a series of stops featuring rum drinks and snacks, with games and music adding to the experience along the way. The evening concludes with an after-party to keep the celebration going.
The weekend continues Saturday, November 21, with the Bay Front Party, a waterfront celebration at the Home of the Fishermen on the Fort Bay. The event brings the festival to Saba’s fishing community and the setting at the heart of the island’s lobster tradition.
The fourth edition concludes on Sunday, November 22, with the Sunday Sundowner at Tropics Café. Guests can wind down the weekend with live music and an à la carte lobster dinner in a relaxed island atmosphere.
Beyond the scheduled events, festivalgoers are encouraged to dine around the island and discover the Rum & Lobster Fest specials available at participating restaurants from November 19–22. From creative lobster dishes to rum-inspired cocktails and pairings, the specials offer another way for visitors and residents to enjoy the festival at their own pace.
Visitors are encouraged to plan their trip early and make a weekend of the festivities.
