And it’s back! I’m very excited to attend the Summer of Rum Festival again this summer! It is already just a week away — ay yi yi!! In celebration of National Rum day — come join me!

disclosure: thanks to the relationship with the Tampa Bay Bloggers & Big City Events, I did receive tickets for the Summer of Rum festival, for my use and for a giveaway, in exchange for this post & social media love. All opinions are my own.

*I had a little fun last year 😉

Here are the basic deets:

Saturday, August 15th — 12PM to 11PM at the Cuban Club in Ybor

You can purchase your tickets online HERE.

General Admission: gets you in the door, free live music, drinks for sale inside.

Island Rum Tasting Pass: this ticket allows you to try over 50 different types of rum (yummy!); you can get more details HERE (tasting is from 2PM-6PM ONLY). This ticket is included with the VIP Experience ticket, but will need to be purchased to accompany your GA ticket.

Cruzan Rum VIP Experience: *hint, hint, this is the way to go! The VIP Experience pulls out all the stops for the day; you will be able to try over 50 types of Rum (tasting is from 2PM-6PM ONLY), receive unlimited Rum beverages from the VIP tent, take advantage of the Cuban Club for relaxing, and get dinner from Pollo Tropical from 6PM-9PM!
