Experience the Sizzle of Junkanoo Summer Festival

Experience the real flavor of The Islands Of The Bahamas through our annual Junkanoo Summer Festivals. Providing natives and visitors with a taste of the Christmas Junkanoo celebrations with just a hint of sizzle, this highly anticipated summer event features the best in Bahamian music, food, art and dance.
 
Junkanoo is a uniquely Bahamian cultural expression dating back to the days of slavery.
Today, the celebration takes the form of an annual costumed parade held on December 26 and January 1. In this celebration, thousands of Bahamians from all walks of life come together to produce artful costumes, music, and dance routines which are then displayed with great fanfare in street festivals throughout The Islands Of The Bahamas. During the summer celebrations, these parades are peppered with musical acts, art displays, culinary competitions, native food offerings, marching bands and live street performances.
 
Immerse in this true celebration of Bahamian culture on the following islands:
 

Nassau/Paradise Island
July 4th, 11th, 18th & 25th

Grand Bahama Island
July 10th, 16th, 23rd, 30th, & Aug. 8th
