Events: Arizona - Phoenix - Scottsdale

The Breadfruit & Rum Bar is celebrating 10 years of success in downtown Phoenix by hosting the first ever rum-centric event in Arizona. The 10th Anniversary Rum Festival will take place Saturday May 12th, from 4:00-10:00 p.m. Guests can expect a spectacular lineup of top rum brands providing samples of their finest varieties, live reggae music, food and fun, all to support the Phoenix Center for the Arts.

Participating brands include: Appleton Estate of Jamaica, Don Q Rum of Puerto Rico, Don Pancho of Panama, Prichard's Rum from Tennessee and Rhum Clement from Martinique and more. Each station will have expert representatives standing by to share their knowledge and answer questions about their rum. 

Of course, no rum festival would be complete without refreshing rum punch or reggae. Look out for the commandeered pirate ship Rum Bar serving up the tastiest rum punch, while local reggae band Rastafarmers, featuring Lady Ninja, fills the air with the sounds of the tropics.

Tickets are $45 for regular admission and $75 for VIP (sold out). This is a 21 and older event. Purchase tickets here: https://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/PR/3404198
