Junkanoo is a vibrant and colorful traditional street parade celebrated in The Bahamas, particularly during the Christmas and New Year’s holidays. It is considered the country’s most important cultural event and has its roots in African heritage, reflecting the blend of West African, Caribbean, and Bahamian traditions.
The festival is famous for its elaborate costumes, lively music, and energetic dance performances. Participants, known as “Junkanooers,” wear large, intricate costumes made of crepe paper, cardboard, and other materials, often in the shape of animals, mythical creatures, or other thematic designs. These costumes are meticulously handcrafted and are typically very large and elaborate, designed to stand out in the parade.
