A welcome change of seasons approaches and Americans are ready for spring break and some warmer weather. And, where better to enjoy these last days of winter than the idyllic islands of The Bahamas, where the spectacular sea, white sands and endless sunshine are unmatched, as ever?

And, with the month of March bringing fresh musical events, brand-new island experiences and special promotions to the 16-island destination, there's even more incentive to visit soon. Here's a quick look at some new offerings in The Bahamas this month:

From March 23-26, 2023, the Grand Bahama Port Authority will host the first edition of 'Art Lucaya', a four-day art festival showcasing 50 professional, mid-career and emerging local artists.

The Atlantis Paradise Island resort will this year produce and host the inaugural Nassau Paradise Island Wine & Food Festival from March 15-19, filled with culinary experiences, tastings, cooking demonstrations, celebrity chef meet-and-greets, multi-course dining experiences, and more. Unfolding in various venues throughout the resort, the festival will also feature live entertainment provided by celebrity musicians and local artists.

Also at the Atlantis Paradise Island property, Grammy Award-winning recording artist and one of the biggest names in music right now, Lizzo, is set to take the stage at Casuarina Beach on Saturday, March 25, performing some of her top-charting hits as part of the resort's 'Music Making Waves' event series.
