The Barbados Food and Rum Festival has returned to the island of the flying fish after a two-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The grand culinary festival, which is being hosted by the Barbados Tourism and Marketing Inc. (BTMI), was declared open on Thursday evening with a traditional street lime at Oistins, Christ Church, Barbados, which saw thousands of persons, including tourists, on hand.
