Bahamas Culinary Classic |  Culinary & Hospitality Management Institute
15 - 21 Nov 2009 (annual)

Powerboat Adventures |  Nassau
Daily
The best aquatic activity day for all the family on Nassau is without a doubt the Powerboat Adventure. A state-of-the-art 1000-horsepower powerboat zooms you off to the Exuma Cays to view marine life and even swim with stingrays. |
National Art Gallery of The Bahamas |  National Art Gallery of The Bahamas
Daily; not Mon or Sun
Housed in what was once a stately mansion, the National Art Gallery of The Bahamas (NAGB) holds contemporary Bahamian art. See Winslow Homer landscapes and sculpture, textiles, ceramics and photography from the end of the 20th century to the present. |
Pirates of Nassau |  Pirates of Nassau
Daily
Stepping back in time to the Golden Age of Piracy (1690-1720), the Pirates of Nassau is a great family day out. All aboard the pirate ship Revenge to follow in the footsteps of the Bahamas' bloodthirsty pirates. |
Graycliff |  Graycliff
Daily
Built in the 1700s and established in 1844 as Nassau's first inn, the British colonial-style Graycliff estate brought the rich and the royal to The Bahamas. It offers elegant rooms containing magnificent antiques, a five-star restaurant and exquisite cigars. |
Sivananda Yoga Retreat |  Sivananda Yoga Retreat
Daily
Sivananda Yoga Retreat is on a bonafide paradise island. One of many Sivananda ashrams, the Bahamas branch may well beat them all for location. A one or two week yoga vacation is best for a thorough recharging but you are free to come whenever the fancy takes you, and stay as long as you like. |
New Year's Junkanoo | Bay Street
1 Jan 2010 (annual)
Nassau's Bay Street lights up each year for Junkanoo - an adrenalin rush of colours, costumes and floats driven by the beat of the goatskin drum. This is a festival unique for its raw Afro-Caribbean flavour. |
Valentine's Day Sailing Regatta | Montagu Bay
Feb 2010 (annual)
The Valentine's Day Sailing Regatta in Montagu Bay is a championship Optimist race interspersed with plenty of fun on land. What could be more romantic than breezing along on the rippling Caribbean waves with your sweetheart by your side? |
Emancipation Day Celebrations | Nassau
Jul - Aug 2010 (annual)
It is said that the slaves in Nassau's Fox Hill heard about their freedom a week after everyone else, explaining the village's extravagant Emancipation Day Celebrations. Join in with the limbo dancing, see parading calypso bands and pulsate to reggae. |
Fort Charlotte | Fort Charlotte
Daily
Fort Charlotte is the largest of the three major defenses on Nassau, with a moat, dungeons and underground passages to explore. Built in 1788 and named after King George III's consort, it sits on top of a hill that overlooks the far west end of the harbour, with a marvellous view of Paradise Island and a large part of Nassau itself. Its original 42 cannons never made a squeak, and only seven remain. Tours of the old fort are free, although a tip is suggested. |
