Festival Junkanoo

There is a legend that the slaves of Fox Hill in Nassau learned that they are free, only a week after the abolition of slavery. This explains the extravagant Feast of Liberation Day, which will be held on August 8. Join the dances, watch the calypso band parade and pulsing reggae

The famous Bahamian festival Junkanoo is very similar to the costumed carnival parades. Participants are dressed in paper suits and divided into groups of 200-400 people who compete with each other in the best performance of pulsating music. Junkanoo is a unique combination of reggae and calypso in the Bahamas.

Liberation Day will end on Fox Hill Day, when residents of the Bahamas celebrate the day their ancestors were given freedom
