Nassau Paradise Island Wine & Food Festival Returns For 2025

The highly-anticipated Nassau Paradise Island Wine & Food Festival (NPIWFF) is returning for its third year. The four-day festival returns to Atlantis Paradise Island in the Bahamas.

The NPIWFF runs from Wednesday, March 12 through Sunday, March 16, 2025, tickets are already on sale at npiwff.org. The third annual festival features a host of familiar names if you’re into good food, and watch a lot of the Food Network. Some of the returning notable chefs who will on the island to host include JJ Johnson, José Andrés, Michael White and Tony Abou-Ganim. Participating for the first time will be Bobby Flay, Kardea Brown and Michael Symon.

The festival has plenty of options to fill out your days, and nights, with culinary delights including demonstrations, tastings and more. Some standouts include the “Goombay Cookout,” a tasting event with Brown, “Tacos & Tequila,” as the name suggests, a taco and tequila party hosted by Symon and festival mixologist Tony Abou-Ganim, which also includes a performance by Baha Men and “Taste of Paradise,” a tasting event of local Bahamian restaurateurs hosted by Bobby Flay.

But the main event remains the Jerk Jam on Saturday, March 15. Last year, JJ Johnson, a name familiar to our TV One family, hosted the evening festivities at the main event, which featured Wyclef Jean as the headliner. In 2025, those in attendance will get to experience a concert from acclaimed reggae artist Shaggy.

All the food, drink and revelry is ultimately for a great cause. Besides upping the Bahamas’ profile as a culinary and entertainment destination, the Nassau Paradise Island Wine & Food Festival raises awareness for the non-profit Atlantis Blue Project Foundation, whose mission is to protect and preserve endangered marine wildlife throughout the Caribbean.
