What Is Junkanoo

Junkanoo is a national Bahamian cultural festival that displays unique works of art in the form of costumes and banners while showcasing dance and masterful musical arrangements.

The rhythmic beats of cowbells and whistles, accompanied by a variety of brass instruments and goat skin drums, create a pulsating harmony that captivates everyone.

This cultural extravaganza occurs bi-annually on Bay Street in New Providence and various Family Islands during the early morning hours on Boxing Day and New Year’s Morning. Additionally, Junkanoo is celebrated on significant occasions such as Independence Day, offering locals and visitors a chance to partake in this unique cultural celebration.
