Calling all foodies!  Aruba’s diverse culinary scene stems from a community of more than 100 nationalities, each contributing deliciously to our gastronomy and setting the stage for what will surely become one of the Caribbean’s most delightful events.  The Aruba Tourism Authority proudly introduces the Autentico Aruba Culinary Festival premiering this October 7 through 13.

Epicurean activities include the Autentico Restaurant Week, with various restaurants offering special menus and dining events, including curated “VIP Bucket List” culinary experiences.

The grand finale of the week of festivities takes place on October 12 and 13 with The Pavilion Food Festival at Wilhelminastraat where dozens of restaurants and bars will have booths throughout the streets of this historic district featuring tasty noshes, craft cocktails, wine, and beer.  The main stage of the event will feature the Bartenders’ Brawl on October 12 and the Iron Chef Aruba competition on October 13.  For more information and tickets go to https://www.aruba.com/us/autentico.
