Grand Bahama Vacations

Grand Bahama Island Night Activities

After sunset, there’s still plenty to do on Grand Bahama Island.

Sun, surf and sand will rule your days on Grand Bahama Island, however, live entertainment, music and evening activities will spice up your nights! Between energy-infused nightclubs, the constant ringing of casino action, sunset cruises and shows, as well and many Bahamian cultural events, the island still has plenty to offer once the sun goes down. 

Junkanoo Parade
The Junkanoo Parade pays tribute to an important period in Bahamian history. During the days of slavery, slaves were permitted three days off; January 1st, December 25th and December 26th. The Junkanoo Festival would take place on December 26th and January 1st, while the 25th of December was dedicated to exchanging gifts and visiting friends.

Today, the Junkanoo celebration includes a vibrant parade with the accompanying traditional sounds of goombay drums, copper bells and mouth whistles. The parade also features men and women wearing hand-made Junkanoo costumes, competing for cash prizes. If you miss your chance to see this high-spirited parade during the holidays, there is also a Summer Junkanoo Festival. To sample Junkanoo year-round, check out the Junkanoo show at the Port Lucaya Marketplace, every Thursday night.

Casinos
Indulge in Vegas-style gambling action at The Treasure Bay Casino, featuring 400 slot machines and 21 game tables. The casino is located onsite at the Raddison Our Lucaya Resort and Our Lucaya Reef Village. After trying your luck, savour the Cove Restaurant’s fine island cuisine. Weekends at the Cove bring karaoke. If stage performances are not your preference, dance or unwind to the rhythmic sounds of Bahamian and Caribbean favourites.
