FOOD PARADISE ON BVI

The month of November marks the return of BVI Food Fête, the annual food festival on the British Virgin Islands (BVI). Six islands will host six events between November 7–December 1, 2019, to celebrate the local gastronomic delights of the BVI. Premier chefs from across the United States and local culinary rising stars will be cooking up the excitement, as they hope to reinvigorate the BVI as a culinary destination after the destruction of Hurricanes Irma and Maria in 2017.
