Come to Exuma to experience one of the best cultural explosion in The Bahamas. This festival, held each year in March, features an exciting weekend of activities for the entire family: storytelling, singing, poetry reading, a Bahamian sloop exhibition (boat exhibitions), plus contests involving sugar cane peeling, onion peeling, and conch cracking. There is also a heritage corner highlighting Bahamian history, arts and crafts, as well as cuisine. Popular local and national artists perform gospel and secular music.

The festival generally runs from 12 noon until.  Locals usually attend the event during the late afternoon/early evening as this part of the day is the coolest.

Venue is the Regatta Park in George Town, nine miles from the Exuma International Airport.

Transportation to Exuma includes air and sea options. Visitors may choose to take a flight from New Providence to Exuma via any of the local airlines, including Bahamasair or SkyBahamas, or travel on the variety of international flights available. 

It is recommended to overnight as most of the festivities, including the music show, start during the afternoon hours and there are no late flights leaving from the island.
