Overview
Say cheers to fermented sugarcane products at Brisbane's newest day-long reason to have a few drinks, with the Sugarcane Sunday Rum Festival coming to town. If your afternoon plans on Sunday, June 9 didn't involve downing plenty of molasses-heavy spirits at West End's Jungle Bar, they do now.
This one-day fest also doubles as a market, so you can browse, taste and chat about all kinds of rum — with your friends, obviously, but also with major run suppliers distillers as well. And, because this kind of beverage lends itself to a tropical theme, there'll also be stalls selling the requisite apparel, including Hawaiian-style shirts.
Cocktails are in order as well, of course, so prepare to sip daiquiris, mai tais and more. The tiki-themed spot will also play host to masterclasses on the spirit in the spotlight, and let the sounds of reggae echo through its laneway.
The fest is split into two sessions, each with a $60 entry fee, so you can head from 1–4pm when the party is getting started, or rock along from 5–8pm and show your rum love into the evening. And if you're in the rum pouring trade, good news: bartenders who pre-book and bring their valid Queensland RSA on the day will get in for free.
