Smith's Point Fish Fry
Wednesday nights year round
The "Fish Fry" at Smith's Point was started a
number of years ago by the residents of that small town, just outside of
Lucaya, to help raise funds for their church. It has become so popular that
similar fish fries are now held throughout Grand Bahama Island and the other
Islands of The Bahamas.
This unique cultural and dining experience is a fun mid-week activity that
sets the stage for your weekend.

Mini "Crab Fest"
Friday nights year round
The indigenous "land-crab" (primarily
native to Andros island) is the main attraction at the "Mini Crab Fest."
Mr. Oscar Porter, the proprietor and a descendant of Andros, proudly
serves up dishes like Andros Boiled Crab & Dough with Cassava, Andros
Crab Soup and Andros Stuffed Crab. Accompaniments are their famous
"Gully Wash" (a concoction of green coconut juice, sweetened milk and
gin) and the music of a native Rake & Scrape band. Be sure to get there
early, as these delicacies often sell out quickly!

People-to-People in Grand Bahama
Year round
The People-to-People Program is a community
involvement venture that brings visitors and Bahamian residents together
on a one-to-one basis. Local volunteers act as personal hosts to
visitors to the island. They come from a cross section of the community,
and have been screened by People-to-People executives. They genuinely
enjoy meeting people from other countries; they want to make visitors
feel at home.
