Coco Fest 2023: Let’s Celebrate the Coconut Industry in The Cayman Islands
Pedro St James and the Tourism Attraction Board (TAB) will be hosting the annual Coco Fest on Saturday 18 February 2022 at Pedro St James. The fun starts at noon until 6pm.
Beginning in 2016, Coco Fest was created to celebrate the Cayman coconut and preserve its ties to Caymanian heritage. The festival also highlights the local cottage industry and is about remembering a time when harvesting coconuts was vital in Cayman.
Coco Fest also supports the ‘shop local’ ethos by creating a space for small businesses to showcase and sell their artwork, traditional foods and products made from coconut oil, or some part of the coconut plant.
The event brings together local cooks, producers, artisans, and farmers through a shared love for the Cayman coconut.
Admission is CI$10 for adults and $5 for children (six-12) and free for children under five.
Some of the planned vendors will include:
- Proven Booth-Main Sponsor
- Pepsi/Vita Coco
- Pedro’s Fresh Chopped Coconut Water
- Door to Door Ice Cream
- GG’s Kitchen
- Vivo
- Jae’s Food Vault
- Sam’s Quality Jerk & More
- Jazzy Cakes
- Willie’s Fresh Fruit & Juices
