Chicago Rum Fest returns to Chicago on April 25, 2026, bringing rum enthusiasts, industry professionals, and curious newcomers together for a full-day celebration of rum culture at Logan Square Auditorium.

Organized by The Rum Lab, the annual festival highlights rum education and exploration through tastings, seminars, and live entertainment. Attendees will have the opportunity to sample a wide range of premium rum expressions from around the world while learning about production methods, regional styles, and cocktail traditions directly from brand representatives and industry experts.

The event blends a spirits expo with a social festival atmosphere, featuring music, brand activations, and guided educational sessions designed for both first-time attendees and experienced rum collectors. Multiple ticket tiers are available, offering varying levels of tasting access and experiences throughout the day.

As part of this year’s promotion, Insider773 has partnered with Chicago Rum Fest to give away two free tickets to the upcoming event. Participants can enter the giveaway by following both organizations on Instagram, liking the official giveaway post, and tagging a friend. The collaboration aims to introduce more Chicago residents to one of the city’s growing specialty spirits festivals.

Now in its latest edition, Chicago Rum Fest continues to position itself as one of the Midwest’s premier rum-focused gatherings, combining education, culture, and community engagement in a single-day experience centered around one of the world’s most diverse spirits.
