Husk Rum Harvest Fest

Aug 12 - Aug 18

The Husk Rum Harvest Fest is back baby! And it’s bigger than ever.

Join us for a week-long celebration of the cane harvest and our community from August 12-18. The Husk Rum Harvest Fest is packed with exciting daily activities and special ticketed events, showcasing the best of local culture, food, Husk Rum and of course our local cane farmers.

Join us for a week of activations at Husk Farm Distillery, celebrating the rum harvest, our community and our local heritage.

Friday is WORLD RUM DAY, and we’re celebrating by releasing a very special Husk ACR limited release that has been aged in beautiful porter barrels from our friends at Stone & Wood Brewing. Join Paul & Quentin for the inaugural Husk Rum Tasting Club on Friday night to celebrate the launch of this special spirit.

Then on the weekend join us for 2 days of live music, pop ups, activities and fun.

These events will sell out, so get in early! We can’t wait to celebrate the harvest with you all.
