Please note that the Barbados Food and Rum Festival's Pop Up, which was being held as part of the We Gatherin activities for the month of March, scheduled for Saturday March 28, 2020 at Sturges, St. Thomas has been cancelled.⠀ ⠀ This is as a result of the announcement from the Prime Minister of Barbados that events/activities attracting more that one hundred (100) persons should be avoided during this period as we manage the spread of the COVID-19.⠀ ⠀ We encourage to take the necessary precautions as outlined by officials and to practise good hand hygiene regularly. #FoodRumBarbados
