Unfortunately, this year the ban on gatherings has postponed many of these Festivals, you will find in the links you will find the updated date, as for the last event moved to next year and that is the beautiful "German Rum Festival" which was to take place in August in Berlin. Two very important events have also existed in Italy for a few years, which are consolidating their international fame: the first is Showrum, now in its sixth edition, organized in Rome by Leonardo Pinto with Isla de Rum and SDI Group and can now count on the presence of thousands of enthusiasts.
The next edition will take place in February 2021. The second, also now in its sixth edition, is organized in Milan and is called The rum Day and it is an event that, while talking about rum at 360 °, is dedicated in particular to the world of cocktail. The next edition is scheduled for the end of October. In the extensive list below you will find in addition to "traditional" rum festivals, even events dedicated only to cocktails, sometimes even to a single type of cocktail such as "Tiki Oasis".
