After celebrating its 10th anniversary with nearly 10,000 visitors last year, Rhum Fest Paris returns on April 12, 13, and 14, 2025, at the Parc Floral de Paris, embracing a “Flower Power” edition that highlights the biodiversity of rum and cachaça-producing regions.
A Redesigned Experience with More Tasting Opportunities
The 2025 edition promises an enhanced tasting experience, featuring 150 exhibitors from around the world. The festival will also introduce two new dedicated pavilions:
- A Masterclass Pavilion, allowing visitors to dive deeper into the world of rum through expert-led sessions.
- The VIF (Very Important Friends) Pavilion, offering exclusive tastings of rare and exceptional selections curated by renowned spirits journalist Cyrille Mald.
Flower Power: Celebrating Biodiversity, Culture & Terroirs
While previous editions focused on distillation and aging techniques, Rhum Fest Paris 2025 shifts its focus to the ecosystems of rum-producing regions. This edition will explore:
- Terroirs and ecosystems
- Local cultures and traditions
- Raw materials and plant-based ingredients
- Sustainable agriculture and CSR commitments
Since its first edition in 2014, Rhum Fest Paris has become a major spirits and rum event, reflecting industry trends and celebrating the growing enthusiasm for this beloved spirit.

To accommodate its growing audience, several major improvements have been introduced:
- A Redesigned Grand Hall de la Pinède to enhance traffic flow and exhibitor visibility.
- The VIF Pavilion Moves to Pavillon des Cèdres, expanding its seating capacity from 75 to 350 seats per day.
