Baha Mar has revealed details of its upcoming Bahamas Culinary & Arts Festival, scheduled for Oct. 22-26, 2025. The four-day event will showcase culinary talent and artistic expression from across the Caribbean and beyond. 

The festival will feature an impressive lineup of celebrity chefs, including Marcus Samuelsson from Marcus at Baha Mar Fish + Chop House, Dario Cecchini of Carna and Daniel Boulud of Cafe Boulud. Additional culinary stars confirmed include Food Network personalities Amanda Freitag, Carla Hall, Maneet Chauhan, Geoffrey Zakarian and Scott Conant, along with Bahamian chef Simeon Hall Jr. 

"It's truly a one-of-a-kind event that brings together some of my closest friends and pairs them with renowned artists for an immersive experience that captures the flavors, culture and soul of the island," Samuelsson said.

A key highlight of the event is the FUZE Caribbean Art Fair, which has expanded to a five-day showcase. The art exhibition will feature works from 14 countries, representing more than 70 artists and 40 galleries. Curated by John Cox, executive director of art & culture at Baha Mar, the fair aims to create an epicenter for Bahamian and regional art.

FUZE will merge with a two-day culinary expo, featuring live local entertainment and chef demonstrations. The festival will also include a welcome party featuring culinary offerings from Baha Mar's restaurants and live entertainment. Previous years have seen performances by artists like Boyz II Men and Sting. 

Weekend passes are currently available, with options for both Gold and Platinum levels. Interested attendees can find more information and purchase tickets at the festival's official website.
