The Baha Mar’s Big Culinary Festival Is Back Again in The Bahamas, With Marcus Samuelsson, Daniel Boulud and Dario Cecchini

Marcus Samuelsson. Dario Cecchini. Daniel Boulud. Some of the biggest names in the culinary world also happen to have signature restaurants at the Baha Mar resort in The Bahamas. 

Now, for the fourth year in a row, the resort is bringing together the top chefs for its Bahamas Culinary & Arts Festival. 

This year’s edition runs from Oct. 22-26, with the trio of superstar chefs joined by Bahamian celebrity chef Simeon Hall, Jr and TV personalities like Carla Hall, Manet Chauhan and Amanda Freitag, among others. 

But it’s not just about the food events. The Baha Mar has long been a hub for Caribbean art, and the property is returning with its FUZE Caribbean Art Fair, a festival that has become the leading art festival in the region. This year’s show will gather more than 70 different artists across 40 galleries. 

The two-day Culinary Expo from Oct. 25-26 will join food and art, with FUZE teaming up with cooking demonstrations. 

“We are thrilled to once again welcome back guests, the local community, as well as culinary and art talent for our fourth annual Bahamas Culinary & Arts Festival,” said Graeme Davis, President of Baha Mar. “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.”

Planning to head to Nassau for the event? 

You can also choose from a trio of packages, with one at each of Baha Mar’s three resorts. 

We loved the Grand Hyatt on our recent stay at the property; the Grand Hyatt package includes two passes and you can book it here. (For an extra splurge, we highly recommend going to the Reserve hotel-within-a-hotel at the Hyatt.

You can also get passes for the event, which start at $599.
