Jollification
is a time where a large part of the community come together; from
artisans, artists, craftspersons, chefs, charity organizations like
Inner Wheel, Rotary, the Bahamas Humane Society, Bahamas International
Film Festival, Bristol Wines and Spirits, Bahamian Brewery to
manufacturers and retailers. Customers shop for Christmas gifts or
enjoy good food and drinks or catch up with friends and people they
don't see often and businesses and organizations utilize the event to
raise funds for charity or profit from their hard work.
Set in the lush gardens of the Bahamas National Trust grounds on Village Road, proceeds support the BNT's Retreat Gardens.
