7th Annual Chicago Rum Festival Returns This Weekend
The 7th Annual Chicago Rum Fest is back and better than ever, bringing together rum lovers and trade professionals from all over the country on April 22, 2023, at Logan Square Auditorium.
FUN FACT: The USA is considered one of the most important countries in the entire rum industry. Before the American Revolution, rum was the most consumed spirit, and now experiencing a renaissance.
The Rum Lab team produces the Puerto Rico Rum Festival “Taste of Rum”, Miami Rum Congress, California, New York, LA Rum Fest, San Francisco Rum Fest, and the Chicago Rum Festival. Each event attracts hundreds of people from trade, rum aficionados, tourists & locals.
ANOTHER FUN FACT: The state of Illinois is one of the largest rum consumer markets in the USA. This year, attendees can try two Illinois-based vendors, Star Union Spirits and Chicago Cane Collective.
We caught up with the owners (Daniel and Sean) of Chicago Cane Cooperative to hear about their brand and how they’ll be participating at the event!
