Baha Mar has announced that 4-time GRAMMY Award-winning writer, producer and music icon will be the 2025 Bahamas Culinary & Arts Festival’s headline performer.

The event will take place October 22 to October 26 at Baha Mar and feature an impressive roster of world-renowned chefs along with the celebrated FUZE Caribbean Art Fair. The festival kicks off with A Taste of Baha Mar, the opening event for weekend passholders.

Guests can enjoy specialty cocktails and cuisine by Baha Mar’s resident celebrity chefs along with a private performance by the legendary Bahamian, Lenny Kravitz. The performance is Kravitz’ homecoming as he brings his iconic rock and roll spirit to the place that helped shape his unique sound.

"We are honored to welcome home one of the world's greatest musical icons, Lenny Kravitz, to The Bahamas Culinary & Arts Festival stage," said Graeme Davis, President of Baha Mar in a statement.

He added, "His deep personal connection to The Bahamas resonates with us all, and his performance is a full-circle moment. This is more than a concert; it's an extraordinary celebration of Bahamian talent and island spirit, and we are ecstatic for our guests to experience it."

"The Bahamas has always been my home, as well as heartfelt inspiration for my music," said Lenny Kravitz, songwriter, musician, actor and record producer. "I'm humbled to join fellow Caribbean artists, creatives and innovators for The Bahamas Culinary & Arts Festival, and I look forward to sharing this experience with a community that means so much to me."

Following the evening performance by Kravitz on October 24, the festival welcomes a dazzling lineup of globally acclaimed chefs such as Marcus Samuelsson (Baha Mar Fish + Chop House), Daniel Boulud (Café Boulud The Bahamas), Dario Cecchini (Carna), and Scott Conant (Leola), along with Bahamian favorite Simeon Hall Jr. and popular Food Network stars Amanda Freitag, Carla Hall, Maneet Chauhan, and Geoffrey Zakarian. These culinary masters will lead interactive demonstrations, intimate dinners, master classes, and tastings alongside festival guests.

The Weekend Pass provides all-access entry to events and exclusive activities throughout the festival. Single-event tickets are available for specific culinary and artistic showcases.

For a truly immersive experience, Baha Mar also offers exclusive Hotel Packages, which bundle a Weekend Pass with discounted accommodations at the Rosewood, SLS, or Grand Hyatt hotels.
