The Bahamas Culinary & Arts Festival will return to Baha Mar for its fourth annual weeklong celebration this October. 

The festival, headlined by chefs including Marcus Samuelsson of Marcus at Baha Mar Fish + Chop House, Dario Cecchini of Carna and Daniel Boulud of Cafe Boulud, will be held from October 22 through October 26. 

Other celebrity chefs include Bahamian Simeon Hall Jr. and Food Network Stars Amanda Freitag, Carla Hall, Maneet Chauhan, Geoffrey Zakarian, and Scott Conant. Mixologists include MisterMixx Bahamas and spirit expert and author Noah Rothbaum. 

The Bahamas Culinary & Arts Festival will offer something special for food and art lovers alike. The FUZE Caribbean Art Fair is a premiere gallery showcase offering a five-day event showcasing art from over 70 artists across 14 countries. 

The weekend Welcome Party will include live entertainment from an award-winning artist to be named in the future, along with food and beverages from the resort. 

"We are thrilled to once again welcome back guests, the local community, as well as culinary and art talent for our fourth annual Bahamas Culinary & Arts Festival," says Graeme Davis, President of Baha Mar. "The five-day festival has grown to become the ultimate celebration of food, art, music, wine and spirits, and this year's programming will be truly spectacular."

Travelers who know they'd like to attend the festival can book different packages now with passes for the event. Luxury travelers will enjoy the Rosewood Baha Mar package, which includes a stay at the luxury property and exclusive Gold and Platinum packages with two weekend passes to the event. 

Other packages include stays at the SLS Baha Mar, the Grand Hyatt at Baha Mar and more. Travelers can also purchase a weekend pass starting from $599, which includes flagship events, access to the Gold Section of the Welcome Party, the weekend Culinary Expo and FUZE Arts Expo and one signature chef-hosted dinner.
