Bahamas — Events
Fish Fry Fridays
Grand Bahama Island is home to the B.T.V.I. Eatery, which indulges visitors’ taste buds with its weekly Fish Fry Fridays. Local culinary delights include the obvious fried fish, as well as conch fritters, potato bread and guava duff. Combined with the ambient Caribbean atmosphere, this occasion is enough to make anyone feel truly relaxed.
Croon to the Moon
Croon to the Moon is a celebration held on each Sunday nearest the full moon (hence the name) and features bonfires, live music, karaoke, cocktails and some fine local cuisine. Crab races are arranged to keep kids entertained; Croon at the Moon is definitely a holiday event for the whole family to enjoy.
Junkanoo
Junkanoo is a street parade with music that takes place in many towns across the Bahamas every Boxing Day and New Year’s Day with the largest parade happening in the capital of Nassau. A colorful demonstration of the Bahamas’ African Diaspora culture, Junkanoo is a great arena for Bahamian goombay music and local costumes; the nation’s freedom and past is also celebrated through this event. Incidentally, a Nassau Junkanoo parade is featured in the James Bond film Thunderball.
