St. John’s, Antigua – The Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Authority introduces Antigua and Barbuda Culinary Month, a new, exciting extension of the island’s annual culinary series that has grown steadily since its launch in 2023. During the month-long celebration in May, food lovers can discover local cuisine through the Eat Like A Local experience and also enjoy a robust schedule of signature dining events with visiting guest chefs exclusively of Caribbean heritage from Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom who’ll partner with local chefs and restaurants on the island.
Also on the month’s schedule is the evolved Food and Art Experience, now the FAB (Food, Art & Beverage) Festival, the Caribbean Food Forum – a regional food and hospitality industry symposium, and the much-anticipated Restaurant Week, featuring prix fixe menus at over 30 restaurants throughout the island.
