Guests are invited to attend Miami’s largest Rum Festival
Thursday, August 16, 2018 12PM-2AM!
Known for hosting large community events focusing on food, art, and culture, The Wharf will add a Rum Festival “Rum Around the Clock” to their event series. The roster of special events has already included “Scotch Around the Clock” (a scotch and cigar paring) and” Tequila Around the Clock” (which celebrated elements of Mexican culture to include a special taco tasting menu). The event will take place this upcoming Thursday August 16, 2018 from 12 Noon- 2AM.
At this point in time, very few living in South Florida have not at least heard of The Wharf. The pop-up event space which sits on a bend in the Miami River boasts a unique footprint and has welcomed thousands of guests since opening this past November 2017. This dynamic spot recently debuted its new and improved version; state of the art glass-enclosure and air-conditioned area (just in time for a World Cup event hosted by David Beckham no less).
The Rum Around the Clock Rum Festival will include FREE admission, over 150+ types of rum to choose from (50 on special), rum-inspired gourmet food, a special Cigar Riverside Lounge area on the deck, a mixology competition and authentic performances by local calypso bands and Polynesian fire knife-dancers, The Wharf Miami will be the destination of choice, for all of Miami’s rum enthusiasts!
