Solomon’s Yamacraw Celebrates Bahamian Entrepreneurship with 4th Annual Buy Bahamian Craft Market Throughout July

NASSAU, BAHAMAS – “This July, Solomon’s Yamacraw is inviting the community to celebrate the spirit of Bahamian independence by supporting the people whose creativity, craftsmanship and entrepreneurial drive help define the nation.”

“In honor of The Bahamas’ 53rd Independence Anniversary, Solomon’s Yamacraw will host its Buy Bahamian Craft Market every Saturday throughout July, transforming the outside of the store into a vibrant marketplace where local artisans and entrepreneurs can showcase their talents, share their stories and connect with hundreds of shoppers.”

“The weekly market reflects Solomon’s ongoing commitment to strengthening the communities it serves by creating meaningful opportunities for Bahamian small businesses to grow and thrive.”

Renea Bastian, Vice President of Marketing & Communications at AML Foods Limited, said the initiative is about more than shopping—it’s about investing in Bahamian people. “At AML Foods, we believe strong communities are built by supporting local entrepreneurs,” said Bastian. “

“As we celebrate our nation’s 53rd Independence, we wanted to create an experience that showcases the incredible talent of Bahamian artisans while giving our customers an opportunity to support local businesses in a meaningful way.”

“Every purchase made at the Buy Bahamian Craft Market is an investment in a Bahamian family, a Bahamian dream and ultimately the future of our country. We are proud to provide a platform where these entrepreneurs can grow their businesses, gain greater visibility and connect with new customers.”

“This year’s Craft Market will feature 14 Bahamian-owned businesses, representing a diverse cross-section of local talent and craftsmanship. Participating vendors include My Bahamas Sponge, For The Foulkes, Sunny Land Treats/Linens, Custom Creations242, Monifa Unjinga, Home Décor, Crochet Creations, Resin Art, Lotus Gem, Pineapple Beauty, Divine Herbal Healing Products & Drinks, along with talented entrepreneurs offering massage services, crochet plushies and creativeface art.

“Together, the vendors will showcase everything from handcrafted straw products, handbags, linens and table runners to handmade jewelry, natural skincare, herbal wellness products, soaps, body creams, resin art, home décor and one-of-a-kind Bahamian gifts.”

“For many of the participating entrepreneurs, the market represents an opportunity to introduce their businesses to thousands of customers while building lasting relationships within the community.”

“The initiative also extends beyond the physical marketplace. Solomon’s will promote participating vendors through its digital channels, including social media and customer e-blasts, helping them expand their reach and introduce their brands to an even wider audience.”

“Naomi Grant, Events Manager at AML Foods Limited, said every aspect of the event has been thoughtfully designed to create an enjoyable experience for customers while giving local small businesses a platform to succeed.”

“The Buy Bahamian Craft Market is about celebrating the people behind the products,” said Grant. We’ve created a welcoming environment where customers can discover unique handmade treasures while meeting the talented Bahamians who create them. We hope every Saturday in July becomes a celebration of our culture, our creativity and our community—where families can shop, connect and proudly support local businesses during this special Independence season.”

“Supporting Bahamian businesses has never been more important. Every dollar spent with a local entrepreneur helps strengthen the national economy, create employment opportunities, preserve cultural traditions and empower families across the country. The Buy Bahamian Craft Market offers customers a simple yet meaningful way to celebrate Independence by choosing products made with pride right here in The Bahamas.”

“To make each market day even more rewarding, Solomon’s Yamacraw will also feature more than 45 specially priced weekly offers for Solomon’s Loyalty Members, allowing customers to enjoy exceptional savings while discovering unique Bahamian-made products. Every Saturday promises a lively atmosphere filled with community spirit, exceptional value and authentic local craftsmanship.”
