JUNKANOO PARADE

WHAT IS JUNKANOO?
Although the roots of the Junkanoo parade remain subject
to long and passionate debates, what is agreed, is that after
centuries of practice, today’s cultural extravaganzas have
become the most entertaining street carnivals of not only The
Bahamas, but also the world at large.

With the costumes, dance, and music inspired by a different
theme each time, preparations for the Boxing Day, New Year’s
Day and summertime Junkanoo literally take months, and bring
together men and women from all different walks of life.

CHRISTMAS DAY JUNKANOO PARADE
The Parade will begin at 10pm on December 25th, 2019 and
continue into the morning.

NEW YEAR’S DAY JUNKANOO PARADE
The New Year’s Day Parade will take place at 2am January 1st,
2020 and continue until the afternoon.

TICKETS
Tickets can be purchased at www.myjcnp.com or
www.junkanootix.com. For more information and assistance,
visit the concierge desk.
