The Bahamas Culinary & Arts Festival Returns for Fourth Year at Baha Mar

NASSAU, The Bahamas – Following last year’s record-breaking success, The Bahamas Culinary & Arts Festival at Baha Mar is set to return for its fourth annual edition from October 22-26, 2025. The highly anticipated event will once again bring together an exceptional lineup of culinary talent, renowned artists, and vibrant entertainment, solidifying its reputation as a premier destination festival.

The five-day celebration will feature world-class chefs, including Marcus Samuelsson of Marcus at Baha Mar Fish + Chop House, Dario Cecchini of Carna, and Daniel Boulud of Cafe Boulud. The event will also welcome Bahamian celebrity chef Simeon Hall Jr., along with Food Network stars Amanda Freitag, Carla Hall, Maneet Chauhan, Geoffrey Zakarian, and Scott Conant. Spirits expert and author Noah Rothbaum, alongside Bahamian mixologist MisterMixx Bahamas, will add to the festival’s immersive culinary experiences.

Beyond the culinary highlights, the festival will once again host the FUZE Caribbean Art Fair, expanding to a five-day showcase from October 22-26. Under the leadership of John Cox, Executive Director of Art & Culture at Baha Mar, FUZE will feature artwork from 14 countries, 70 artists, and over 40 galleries. The exhibition aims to decentralize the art market and establish The Bahamas as a creative epicenter. Notable artists such as Shacqueel Coleby, John Paul Saddleton, and June Collie will present their work alongside interactive panel talks and art workshops.

The weekend festivities will kick off with the popular Taste of Baha Mar Welcome Party, where guests can sample culinary delights from the resort’s acclaimed restaurants. Live entertainment will be provided by a yet-to-be-announced award-winning artist, with past performances including Boyz II Men, Sting featuring Shaggy, and Sir Rod Stewart.

“The five-day festival has grown to become the ultimate celebration of food, art, music, wine, and spirits, and this year’s programming will be truly spectacular,” said Graeme Davis, President of Baha Mar.
