November 1 to November 9
Discover the magic of Saba! From November 1 to 9, the annual Rum & Lobster Fest returns, celebrating local flavour, cultural pride, and the warm hospitality that makes Saba truly unique. Whether you love great food, enjoy exploring the outdoors, or simply want to relax in paradise, this is the perfect time to visit.
The Rum & Lobster Fest showcases two of Saba’s most beloved treasures – fresh island lobster and Unspoiled Queen Liquor rums by Saban Rock Living. As you dine your way around the island, enjoy this year’s theme “Savour the sea, Sip the spirit, Celebrate the island” with restaurants and bars creating special menus inspired by bold Caribbean flavour. This festival brings together the entire community to highlight the very best of Saba.
Here’s what’s happening throughout the week
The festivities begin on November 1 with the Rum & Lobster Fest First Taste, followed on November 2 by Cocktails & Crafts. Join us again on November 6 for Rum & Lobster Fest Trivia Night, then raise a glass on November 7 during the Rum & Lobster Crawl and the spirited Crawl After Party. On November 8, kick the day off with the Bizzy B 5K – Run First, Rum Later, and continue into the evening with Rum, Lobster & Live Music. The celebration concludes on November 9 with the stunning Sunday Sundowner Rum & Lobster Night – the perfect way to wrap up an unforgettable week.
