The highlight of the two-day affair will be the exciting Bartenders Competition, where Antigua’s finest “mixologists” will dazzle the judges with their showmanship, as they attempt to concoct the tastiest drinks using the local fruit.
On Sunday July 10th, the top chefs and bartenders from Saturday will participate in the final round of the competition. 

Additionally, there will be a showdown of the country’s premier pastry chefs, who will vie to create the most eye catching and mouth-watering mango-pineapple desserts.
