The Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Authority has formed an official partnership with Farmers Only – The Barnyard Party adding the f armers-themed event to the official list of the Antigua and Barbuda Restaurant Week activities.
Farmers Only, dubbed one of the largest local food-themed events in Antigua
and Barbuda takes place on May 14, during Restaurant Week and is a display of farm
to table experiences, local food, music and entertainment.
As part of this collaborative effort, Restaurant Week will have its own presence at the
Farmers Only event, with a custom media lounge dedicated to meet and greets with
special invited guests and celebrity chefs, media interviews, photo opportunities and
giveaways.
The partnership also includes co-branding and co-op advertising opportunities geared towards promoting Antigua and Barbuda’s culinary industry and sensitizing locals to the Restaurant Week brand.
The event also presents itself as a unique addition to the destination’s culinary experiences as an appealing attraction for visitors to the destination.

bring people together in the spirit of food. Not only this, but it’s a uniquely packaged
experience that has international appeal with synergies that can help build awareness
and momentum around Restaurant Week. We are excited and look forward to this
partnership”, says Shermain Jeremy, the ABTA’s Lead for Restaurant Week.
“This year’s event is slated to be the best yet! We have a new venue, new local food
experiences and a packed entertainment lineup. We are especially excited about being
