Bahamian Ting-Um
The Bahamian Ting-Um will be held the following Saturday on October 14th.  This event, celebrating the Discovery Day holiday in The Bahamas, features a “Bahamian Fusion” buffet dinner of native Bahamian cuisine, as well as Karaoke, crab races, a live cultural “Salute to Bahamian Music Legends”
show with West End Love Train, the resort’s very own musical group, live Junkanoo entertainment and a live
Rake & Scrape band.  This event costs $49.95 per adult and $24.95 per child 12 years old and under.

Halloween Costume Ball
Old Bahama Bay will finish off the October festivities with their Halloween Costume Ball on October 28th.  This event features a special package including a two-night stay in a junior suite, the Friday night reception and two tickets to the Costume Ball for $549. At the ball, guests will enjoy a night of dancing and disguise in line with Halloween’s mischievous spirit.  The evening begins with an exquisite dinner on the beach, with musical accompaniment by Wilfred Solomon and The Magnetics.  Guests can either bring their own costumes or rent one at the resort for the Best Costume competition, after which everyone is invited to fritter the night away dancing on the beach.  To join the ball without the package is $50 per adult.
