George Town, Grand Cayman (September 26, 2006) – Taste of Cayman 2006 is a weekend of extravagant food and fun November 3-5.

This year’s event corresponds with the grand opening of Boatswain’s Beach so participants can be one of the first to tour this exciting new facility and view the predator lagoon, snorkel lagoon and turtle ponds.
The Taste Restaurant Showcase features 40 of Cayman’s finest restaurants parading a sampling of their best dishes of both local and international cuisine.

Entertainment will run well into the night with live bands and DJ’s playing calypso, soca, rock, reggae, country and pop. Also included in the entertainment are games and prizes, as well as the Chevrolet Kids Corner with clowns, balloon animals, bounce about, craft making and face painting.
