Festival Noël is Grand Bahama’s premier holiday event, celebrating nearly three decades of community spirit, local talent, and support for conservation. Join us for an evening of fine wine, art, culinary delights, music, and holiday joy—all in support of our cherished national parks.
Welcome to the 29th annual Festival Noël, where Grand Bahama’s culinary delights, vibrant Bahamian art, and live music come together for a night of holiday festivity. Join us to “Light Up the Night” in celebration of local chefs, artisans, and musicians, all while supporting the conservation of Grand Bahama’s cherished national parks.
This year, Festival Noël is proud to showcase Nikita Turnquest, fondly known as Kita of Adonis Bahamas, as our 2024 Featured Artist. Born and raised on Long Island, Nikita draws inspiration from her family’s deep-rooted craftsmanship and the tranquil beauty of the Bahamian coast. Her art blends natural themes with the spirit of the sea, celebrating peace, resilience, and Bahamian culture.
