Parading in the Bahamas

The Bahamas has its own inimitable culture and approach to life, typified by the relaxed atmosphere of the twice-yearly Junkanoo parades. The cultural event takes place on Boxing Day and New Year's Day and people from all over the globe are invited to attend and participate in one of the best street festivals in the world. Stay in a rented holiday home in the Bahamas and enjoy the music made by drums, scrapers, cowbells, brass instruments and horns. The parades are a feast for the eyes as well as the ears, as visitors watch talented dance groups take to the streets in an array of colorful and magnificent traditional costumes.
