Where is the Edmonton Rum Festival held?
How much do tickets to Rum Festival cost?
Be sure to keep your ticket page! Visit Vines Wine Merchants by the end of November 2018 and use your ticket page to receive 10% off any bottle of rum!
How do I order Rum tickets?
To purchase Edmonton Rum Festival tickets online, click here or call the MS Society at 780 463 1190. Tickets will be available for purchase as of August 1, 2018.
You’ll receive a commemorative Glencairn glass, an event program, gourmet appetizers throughout the evening and, of course, over 75 rums to sample! Plus, you’ll have the chance to enter to win a bottle of rum a month for a year, and a chance to bid on a number of rum themed silent auction items.
We do sell tickets at the door, if any are remaining. We strongly advise that you order your tickets in advance.
Should I wear perfume / after-shave?
One of the joys of any spirit event is nosing in the glass to identify the subtle and delicate aromas. These delicate aromas can be overwhelmed by perfume, cologne and after-shave worn on your own person or even by somebody else some distance away. Please refrain from wearing any scent for the duration of the Festival and advise your guests accordingly.
The hotel does have free parking available. However, we encourage the use of public transportation and cabs.
Can I get a preferred rate at the Delta as part of the Festival?
Yes! Stay at the Delta Edmonton South for the night at a rate of $135. Call the Delta Edmonton South at 780-434-6415 and ask to book in the Rum Festival open block.
What should I wear to the Edmonton Rum Festival?
There’s no need to bring a glass with you. A Glencairn crystal commemorative nosing glass will be provided to you as you enter. It’s yours to use for the evening, and to take home with you.
If you lose your nosing glass, we’ll have wine glasses available in the Grand ballroom. Sorry, we cannot replace any lost or broken nosing glasses.
There’s a rum on the list that I want to be sure to try. How can I find out which booth is pouring it?
Do I need purchase drink tickets to be able to taste the rum I want to try?
Check back from time to time on this web site or call 780-463-1190 .
Should I keep my ticket page?
Absolutely! Bring your page into Vines Wine Merchants by the end of November 2018 to receive 10% off any bottle of rum.
There is a coat check available by donation to the MS Society.
Backpacks, briefcases, tote bags, or any other such items, are not permitted inside of Rum Fest. You will be asked to leave them at the coat check.
When I discover a new rum that I love at Rum Fest, can I buy a bottle of it right there?
Rum Festival is a tasting event only. Order forms will be available at each table for the rum(s) that agent is presenting. Customers can fill them in there and then with their name and phone number and Vines Wines will order them for you the following week. Please note: your ticket stub (when presented at Vines Wines before the end of November 2018) entitles you to a 10% discount or $10 off (whichever is better) your whisky purchase.
