Taste of Cayman Food & Drink Festival - Saturday 13th May 2023

Taste of Cayman is Cayman's largest food and drink event held annually in Grand Cayman.

Over the past 35 years Taste of Cayman has grown from humble beginnings to become Cayman’s largest culinary celebration. In its first year the festival centered around a group of restaurants from the Cayman Islands Restaurant Association meeting in a field for a chili cook off.

Over the years the event has evolved to having over 5,000 attendees, multiple competitions and over 18,000 portions of food enjoyed.

The 2023 event promises to be bigger and better than ever before, celebrating Cayman traditions and a rich culinary heritage through Heavy Cake and Mixology competitions, plus some exciting new features!
