The inaugural Bonaire Rum Week will take place from June 14 – 17, 2022. It is a celebration of rum, which has its origins in the Caribbean. This new event is compliments of a collaboration between Caribbean Journal and Tourism Corporation Bonaire. Bonaire Rum Week is a four-day event that takes participants through the length and breadth of rum in the Caribbean and in Bonaire.
The rum week was also conceptualised to celebrate the natural beauty of Bonaire. The Bonaire Rum Week Reef Renewal drive will support reef renewal efforts in the island. To donate to the efforts, which include restoring and replanting coral reefs, please visit the Go Fund Me page.
