About Jollyfest
Jollyfest is a Christmas market that brings the timeless spirit of the holidays to Nassau through art, culture, music, and community. Our mission is to create a festive gathering that celebrates the beauty of traditional Christmas markets while supporting local artists, makers, and small businesses. Through thoughtfully curated experiences, seasonal entertainment, and joyful moments for all ages, Jollyfest aims to inspire connection, nostalgia, and a renewed appreciation for the magic and meaning of Christmas.
One market, two entirely different events. Tap to see each one.
Friday · November 27
Kick off the holiday season with an adults-only evening of festive cocktails, live music, late-night shopping, and holiday cheer. 'Twas the Night Before brings together the charm of a European Christmas market with the energy of a festive holiday party—the perfect night to gather with friends, discover unique gifts, and celebrate the season.
Saturday · November 28
Bring the whole family for a magical day of Christmas fun featuring local artisans, festive food, live entertainment, and holiday shopping. Children can enjoy letters to Santa, Christmas arts and crafts, surprise appearances by the Grinch and other beloved holiday characters, and a full day of festive activities designed to create lasting holiday memories.
Friday & Saturday · Nov 27–28
Can't choose just one? Get both events in a single pass — the after-dark market on Friday and the full family celebration on Saturday.
