The neighboring island, a pearl that has remained authentic, is organizing the “Rum & Lobster Fest” from November 5 to 12 with the collaboration of various players in the tourism sector: restaurants, bars, hotels, dive shops, maritime and air transport companies, artists, musicians and artisans.
This festival promises to be an unforgettable experience for its inhabitants and for visitors who will have the good idea to visit or re-visit Saba this week.
Tastings, rum hunt, alcohol cruise (without abuse) and the highly anticipated lobster hunt in all restaurants are on the program as well as “Crafty Claws” arts and crafts workshops with local artisans: Marie de Saba (jewellery course), Danielle Dunlop (card making), Anna Keene (crafty claws) and Heleen Cornet. The marriage of art and gastronomy offers a truly special experience.
A feast for the senses
Throughout the week, you will be tempted by the flavors of the famous lobsters from the Banc de Saba, meticulously prepared by the island's chefs. Around fifteen restaurants agreed to participate: Pachos Bar, Tropics Café, Guidos Bar, Long Haul, Liams Cuisine, Chez Bubba, Brigadoon, Dimples, Ocean Club, Runway 30, Saba Snack Gourmet, Island Flavor, Rendez-vous, The Hideaway and Queens Hotel.
