New Year’s Junkanoo
Where: Bay Street
Opening Hours: From 2am
Nassau’s Bay Street lights up each year for Junkanoo - an adrenalin rush of colours, costumes and floats driven by the beat of the goatskin drum.
This is a festival unique for its raw Afro-Caribbean flavour. Spectators line Bay Street from about 2am until 8am. A mounting clamour of bells, whistles and goombay drums throbs forward to the rhythm of the music until dawn streaks across the sky, revealing revellers in extraordinary costumes.
Special Attraction
Secret Junkanoo “shacks” all over the island are the venues for the creation of these costumes, made of thousands of tiny pieces of coloured paper. Competition to win is always fierce. The groups who compete in the Junkanoo have crazy names such as the Vikings, the Music Makers and the Z-Bandits. The winners are announced on the local radio and television stations and there is a cash prize for the winning group.
