The party literally never ends at Count Basie Square! It is the vibrant hub of entertainment at Port Lucaya. It was named after a famous jazz artist and till date has stood for a daily celebration of music of the Bahamas.

On weekends, you can enjoy live music at the Square in the evening and later groove to the DJ beats.

Why wait for the weekend to arrive? They provide an excellent antidote to those Monday blues too – Karaoke Mondays.

There are plenty of bar and restaurant options around Count Basie Square.

Given the variety of events that take place at the Square, it makes for good fun for the entire family. On New Years’ Eve, there is an amazing celebration at the Square which also happens to be amazingly free of charge. Don’t miss it if you happen to be at the Bahamas during that time.

This is also a good spot to just sit and relax by the waterfront after a busy day of shopping at Port Lucaya Marketplace. Throughout the year, Count Basie Square is the location of choice for countless music festivals, parades, dance performances and many other cultural affairs.

You can obtain a schedule of events from Port Lucaya Marina.
