Los Angeles Rum Festival 2025 (PopUp)

TheRumLab.com is proud to celebrate the 4th Los Angeles Rum Fest (Pop-Up) aka California Rum Fest SoCal Edition. The boutique-style event will showcase a handful of brands that emphasize the education and premiumization of the rum category.

Join us at the Haas Builsing DTLA (ROOF TOP) - 219 W 7th St, Los Angeles on September 11th, 2025.

The USA is considered one of the most important countries for the entire rum industry. Before the American Revolution, rum was the most consumed spirit, and now an awakening is occurring. The state of California by itself is one of the largest rum consumer markets in the USA.

TheRumLab team is the producer of the Puerto Rico Rum Fest "Taste of Rum", California, the Chicago Rum Festival, Texas Rum Fest, and the Miami Rum Congress. All events attract hundreds of people from trade, rum aficionados, tourists, & locals.
