About
Held each summer on Bimini — the Bahamian island closest to the Florida coast, just 80 km from Miami — Bimini Fest celebrates this tiny island's outsized cultural legacy: Hemingway wrote here, the first American Indians encountered Columbus near here, and the island's deep waters host record-breaking sportfishing. The festival combines live Bahamian music, deep-sea fishing competitions, food stalls, and local craft markets in a genuinely intimate Out Island setting accessible by a 20-minute flight or fast ferry from Miami.
