Events in Nassau Bahamas

Join us for one of the most Bahamian of Celebrations this Boxing Day. This exhilarating celebration of freedom is like no other with bright, colorful costumes, high energy performances and the sounds of cowbells, goombay drums, whistles and brass bands all in the magic of the night. The Junkanoo Parade begins between midnight and three in the morning on Boxing Day. This holiday was granted to slaves the day after Christmas when they were given the boxes (hence boxing day) left over from their master’s gifts. The slaves had only three days off a year and they took to the streets to celebrate.

*Banks, businesses and many shops may be closed for this holiday.
