Junkanoo!

Let's party! The Jankanoo Bahamian festival is a tradition that unites the islands together.  Typically taking place over Christmas and New Years.  However, due to the wide spread in popularity and global acknowledgement, Junkanoo has manifested itself into a summer festival as well which has been introduced through June and July.  The festival is a time where locals and tourists come together to experience tradition and culture.  Blending of various different art forms such as visual, dance, music, and national entertainers, the Bahamian culture comes together to produce a joyous festival that takes over the streets.

This sensational festival takes place in the islands of Nassau, Grand Bahama Island, Eleuthera/Harbour Island, Bimini, The Exumas, and the Abacos.  I can't wait to dive into the culture and dance and feel the music of the island.  I hope to never forget the rush of the locals around me and the sensational dancers that Jaclyn and I have heard tremendous thing about.

Listed above are two other festivals that will occur during our stay on the island!  Eleuthera Pineapple Festival and the Bahamas Summer Boating Fling/Flotilla.  With Jaclyn's love for boats, I can't imagine in a trip without these festivals!
