Everyone knows in the Bahamas this is the most awaited time of year—the islands are abuzz with parties, festivities, the best food, scrumptious beverages, holiday shopping, and….goat-skin drum roll….Junkanoo!
Yes, our world renown Junkanoo parades are held on Boxing Day (the day after Christmas) and New Year’s Day; and these events kick off in the wee hours of the morning, as a fun Bahamian tradition. But this isn’t the only frolicking you get to do. There is so much more happening the entire month of December, throughout January and well into February. Here’s a list of examples to wet your holiday appetite:
December 2 – 6, 2018 Hope Town, Abaco
You know the islands of The Bahamas but do you know our northernmost island? It’s Grand Bahama, encompassing Freeport (the city), Lucaya, West End, Eight Mile Rock and McLeans Town. Other towns include Pinder’s Point, Russell Town, Smith’s Point, William’s Town, and more — most named after the families who founded them.
Freeport, well known as the second city of The Bahamas, was originally developed to provide tropical fun for visitors to enjoy upscale resorts and life-changing experiences. Freeport’s natural attractions are among its finest assets, and is the only place where you can see all six of The Bahamas’ ecosystems on one trail. Freeport also has a diverse mixture of beach bars, clubs, pubs, and sunset cruises, all to make for fantastic nightlife. Take in native entertainment in Port Lucaya Marketplace—fire and limbo dancing, Rake & Scrape, or local talent at Garden of The Groves, to name a few. Annual festivals, highlighted by Junkanoo, also help to keep the island continuously buzzing with excitement.
It’s criminal to visit the Bahamas in this time of the year and not know the many holiday experiences you can have! This is the most awaited time of the year – the parties, concerts, scrumptious food, delicious beverages, a shopping craze and the amazing beats at the Junkanoo parades are to cruise for.
What began with our Junkanoo parades, the day after Christmas and on the New Year’s Day, is a three-month-long (December to February) roller-coaster ride of adventures.
Take a look at our list of events you can add to your bucket list!
