ST MAARTEN TO HOST FIRST ANNUAL FOOD FESTIVAL THIS NOVEMBER
The St. Maarten Tourism Bureau and the St. Maarten Hospitality and Trade Association announced the Dutch Caribbean island’s first annual food festival, dubbed “St. Maarten Flavors”. Taking place throughout November, now recognized island-wide as the culinary month, local restaurants are invited to participate by creating prix fixe menus highlighting select dishes at special price points. In addition to showcasing food specialties, restaurants will also be curating additional experiences to make dining even more unique – from live music and DJs to DIY sushi sessions.
As a Caribbean hub due to its central location, St. Maarten is home to a wide variety of cultures and influences including Trinidadian, Asian, Dutch, Italian, and many more, which are all reflected in the island’s varied culinary offerings. The goal of “St. Maarten Flavors” is to both give local restaurants a platform to showcase their diverse creations as well as invite visitors and locals alike to immerse themselves in the dynamic food scene at an accessible price point.
