Goombay Summer Festival 2026

The Goombay Summer Festival transforms Nassau's Bay Street and Arawak Cay (Fish Fry) into a vibrant celebration of Bahamian culture every Friday night throughout the summer. Named for the Goombay drum, the festival features live rake-and-scrape music, Junkanoo rushes, Bahamian cuisine, craft vendors, and family entertainment. It's one of the most authentic ways to experience Bahamian culture and is beloved by locals and visitors alike.
