"Gern to da island" is more than a theme—it’s a celebration of The Bahamas' 700 islands and cays. Each one has a story, a vibe, a flavor. From Eleuthera’s pink sand to Exuma’s swimming pigs, we’re proud to say, “I live where you vacation.” This year, we’re embracing our roots, encouraging local exploration, and dreaming of collecting stamps from every Bahamian island. Because no matter where we travel, there’s no place like home.

In The Bahamas, saying “mawnin’ mawnin’ mawnin’” isn’t just a greeting—it’s culture, broughtupcy, and respect. Miss it, and prepare to be called out!

"I Is a Bahamian Bey" honors Bahamian culture and language, with Kaché Knowles embracing her roots and rejecting "proper" English.
