Why Bobby Flay, Jose Andres and Shaggy Are Coming to Nassau Paradise Island
Celebrity chefs. Wine tastings. Culinary demonstrations. Gourmet happy hours. Local flavors.
It’s one of the most exciting culinary experiences in the Caribbean, and now the Nassau Paradise Island Wine & Food Festival is making its return in 2025.
The third annual edition of the event will run from March 12-16, 2025, led by an all-star lineup of chefs including Bobby Flay, Jose Andres, Michael White and Katie Lee, among others.
It will feature popular events ranging from a “Goombay Cookout” with Kareem Brown; a picnic in paradise hosted by Lee; the beloved “Jerk Jam” hosted by JJ Johnson and Brown and a performance by Shaggy; a taco-and tequila “fiesta” hosted by Michael Symon and festival mixologist Tony Abou-Ganim; and a “Taste of Paradise” featuring local eateries like McKenzie’s Conch Shack and Sip Sip.
There’s even a “Barbie and Ken Culinary Adventure,” continuing Atlantis’ creative partnership with Mattel and the Barbie brand.
The event puts the spotlight on the surging culinary scene in Nassau Paradise Island and Atlantis in particular, with the signature resort having cultivated an unrivaled collection of star chef-driven restaurants and brands, from Paranza by White (which opened last year to serious acclaim, including being named one of the 50 Best Restaurants in the Caribbean) to the first-ever Shake Shack in the Caribbean.
Another new addition for 2025? A performance by The Bahamas’ own Baha Men, who will be performing at the Tacos & Tequila party.
