Grand Bahama Island

Join us for the first annual Bahamas Bash 7 v 7 Lacrosse Tournament located on Grand Bahama Island. The Bahamas Bash offers a fun and competitive lacrosse tournament as well as the Caribbean Vibe that you can only get being in the Bahamas.

Every team will have a minimum of 4 lacrosse games, with playoffs and champions for each division. If your are looking for more competition, you can enter the skills contest which will include fastest shot, most accurate, and trick shots.

Designed as one of the finest fishing tournaments and cultural festivals, this exciting competition is judged based on the most snappers caught by weight, the largest snapper caught, fish scaling and best seasoned fish. As the snapper fish is one of the most abundant fishes in the Bahamas, this annual event offers good times for all!

The ultimate KIDS rugby event in The Bahamas. Visiting teams flock from Cayman, USA, Bermuda, and Nassau for this  super weekend of everything "rugby" that youth players will want to experience - dubbed THE CARIBBEAN's BEST YOUTH RUGBY FESTIVAL. 

This exciting Homecoming Festival for the community of Pelican Point is held annually on Easter Monday. 

Each year the festival attracts hundreds of visitors to the eastern end of the island to enjoy unlimited combinations of coconut creations.

The art of the coconut will be displayed in items including but not be limited to, coconut jimmy, coconut tart, jams and preserves and the Bahamian specialty, Gully Wash! Bahamian arts and crafts and coconut jewelry will also be available.

Come out and experience coconut in more ways than you can count!

Coastal Awareness Month is designed to educate the community on the importance of protecting the environment and the coastline. Throughout the month of April,  Bahamians are educated about the islands' natural resources and sustainability. The Coastal Awareness Team cleans beaches, harbors and marinas.

Sports enthusiasts have been gathering at Taino Beach in Lucaya every year since 1986 for a grueling 0.5 mile (1k) swim, 20 mile (25k) bike ride and 3.5 mile (5k) run. Starting time for the Conchman is 8:00 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. for the Iron Kids Race.

Majority Rule Day became a public holiday in 2014. It commemorates The Bahamas gaining majority rule for the first time on January 10, 1967, symbolizing the promise of equality, a level playing field, and fair play for all Bahamians.

Along with the emancipation from slavery in 1836, and gaining Independence from Great Britain in 1973, the achievement of Majority Rule is considered one of the most important events in the history of the country.

This religious holiday marks the end of the Lenten season and is the first day of a long holiday weekend which includes the following Monday after Easter Sunday. On this holy day most Bahamians attend church services and serve fish as their main meal of the day.

This holiday marks the beginning of the beach picnicking season for Bahamians. There are also many cookouts in public parks on the Nassau waterfront; homecomings and regattas are held in some Out Islands.
