One of The Bahama’s most storied sailing regattas is back this year. 

The Harbour Island Regatta, the beloved marine festival on the charming island off the coast of North Eleuthera, runs this weekend, from Oct. 7-10. 

This year’s event will welcome both sloop sailors and spectators, with sailors racing around the island’s turquoise waters and attendees enjoying the best of Bahamian food and spirits. 

All profits are donated to local island infrastructure and other charitable groups. 

It’s part of a broader return of festivals and other events across the islands of The Bahamas this year for for the first time since the onset of the pandemic.
