Heatwave alert! 5 weeks until Rum Festival

Birmingham’s favourite celebration of all things rum-soaked, sunshine-inspired and dancehall-fuelled is making is only 5 weeks away – and it’s bringing serious Caribbean energy with it.

Back for its 11th year, the Birmingham Rum Festival 2026 lands at the legendary The Cuban Embassy on Saturday 27th June, promising an unforgettable evening packed with Caribbean street food, live music, unbeatable vibes, and enough premium rum to make your summer start with a bang.

And this year? The festival is turning the volume all the way up with special guest Apache Indian bringing his iconic “Boom Shack-A-Lak” spirit to the party – literally. Expect dancehall rhythms, feel-good chaos, and cocktails crafted to keep the dance floor full all night long.

Because while rum may be the headline act, the cocktails are the real scene-stealers.

From tropical twists to spicy sips and smooth island-inspired blends, Birmingham Rum Festival’s cocktail line-up is a passport to paradise in a glass. Here are five signature serves you absolutely cannot miss.
