BASSETERRE, ST. KITTS – St. Kitts closed out 10th-anniversary Culinary Month, capping a month-long, island-wide celebration of food and hospitality that spanned signature events, fixed-price restaurant menus, and roadside and street vendors throughout July.
“The month opened with Rooted in Passion at Splash Courtyard, Royal St. Kitts Hotel, a tasting showcase that doubled as a fundraiser for the Federation’s culinary team ahead of their upcoming regional representation, and continued through the St. Kitts Tasting Showcase at Eco Park, two rounds of Flavors by Carambola, St. Kitts Grill Fest, Cook, Sip & Glamp at Park Hyatt St. Kitts, Serendipity’s Children’s Home Charity Dinner, and Taste at Twilight at Orchid Bay,” the St. Kitts and Nevis Tourism Authority (SKTA) said.
Commenting on the occasion, St. Kitts and Nevis’ Minister of Tourism, Hon. Marsha T. Henderson said the event has become one of the clearest examples of how tourism creates opportunity beyond the hotel gate.
“Ten years ago, this began as a single week celebrating our restaurants; today it is a month-long calendar that reaches our farmers, our fishers, our roadside vendors, and our entertainers, all while inviting the world to taste what makes St. Kitts distinct. From our culinary team’s Rooted in Passion event to the everyday special menus our restaurants put together this July, this is exactly the kind of tourism growth we set out to build: one that is shared,” Minister Henderson said
Restaurant Week has evolved into a 31-day showcase anchored by two signature ingredients, Carrot and Passionfruit that appeared in everything from juices and cakes to sauces, desserts, and cocktails on fixed-price menus across the destination throughout July.
