The third annual Boracay Cocktail Festival brings together all the essential island vacation activities: indulging in all the colors of the rainbow through free-flowing cocktails, bumping hips to electronic music from all eras, and eating a ton of grub.
This is all behind the backdrop of the budding talent within the island's mixology scene, deeply interwoven into Boracay's cultures and subcultures.
This year's festival returns to Kasbar, a beloved bar/restaurant in Station 1, which will see up to ten bartenders duking it out, wielding their signature cocktails made especially for the event.
The night will also be fueled by DJ sets, tasteful food pairings, and what Kasbar describes as "overflowing" free cocktails.
The local food and restaurant scene in Boracay has gradually gotten back on its feet after the whopping 50 percent dip in earnings thanks to the coronavirus pandemic.
Past iterations of the festival garnered more than a hundred people, respectively, and are set to repeat this year. If you are interested in joining the cocktail festivities, you can contact Kasbar via e-mail: [email protected]
