Taste of Cayman goes digital

(CMR) Taste of Cayman is going digital in 2023, using digital wristbands to save patrons time by avoiding queues at the gate and during the event.

The wristbands are your digital festival currency, allowing for hands- and hassle-free experience. They are pre-loaded with your food and beverage credit, and you can check your balance or quickly top-up additional F&B credit at multiple designated top-up stations while at the event, organizers explained.

Persons who purchased their event ticket online or at a ticket outlet will exchange it for a wristband which can be picked up before or at the gate on the night of the event. The wristband a person receives will correlate with their ticket type (adult, child, VIP), and will come pre-loaded with that value of F&B credit.

They will then be ready to start tapping their wristbands at the vendors and enjoying their food and drinks!

There will be various F&B top-up stations throughout the event where persons may conveniently top-up additional F&B credit to their wristbands. They may also top-up F&B credit on your phone via a mobile online portal.

General admission Adult tickets include 12 food and drink tickets; child includes 5 food and drink tickets.

The general admission provides access to all of the restaurants, bars, and entertainment such as the Main Stage, the CUC seating area, the Bon Vivant Demonstration Stage, Kids Zone, the CG BritCay Photo Booth, the Ministry of Youth, Sports, Culture & Heritage All Things Cayman area, the Seven Fathoms Mixology Competition, and Fireworks.

It also provides access to all of the benefits of General Admission plus unlimited access to the AI Rentals VIP Hospitality Lounge, featuring its own VIP bar and complimentary welcome drinks and canapes hosted by Saint June at The Ritz-Carlton. In addition, VIP guests also enjoy Priority Parking, Express Entry, VIP Bathrooms, 1 free experience in the Experience Room, and an exclusive main stage viewing area.

Persons can top-up extra food and beverage credit to their wristbands with cash or a credit card. They can also check their balance at any time during the event by visiting one of the several Top-up ticket booths located throughout the event or syncing their wristband to their mobile device.
