Toronto Festivals & Events for Next Week (Jul 28 - Aug 3)

Hey Torontonians,

Angostura Rum Tasting at The Real Jerk - Toronto’s Carnival Week just got better

Toronto, it’s Carnival Week. The streets are buzzing, the music’s loud, the heat is real… and if you’re craving something with flavor, we’ve got just the thing to sip on.

This Wednesday night, head to The Real Jerk Restaurant - the city’s iconic home of Caribbean food and culture for a special Angostura Rum Tasting that’s as rich in vibes as it is in flavor.

What’s going down:

🍹 A guided rum tasting led by Raymond Edwards, the Chief Brand Educator at The House of Angostura, aka the man who knows the story behind every drop.
🎶 Music by MC Lytesout, bringing the energy and beats that make you want to dance between sips.
🍗 Appetizers included with your ticket, because rum always goes better with bites.

Whether you're a seasoned rum lover or just here for a good time, this is your chance to taste the soul of Trinidad & Tobago with award-winning rums crafted from over 200 years of tradition.

Tickets are just $25, and they won’t last long.
