Bahamas Junkanoo,
which traces its roots back to West Africa,
is celebrated on Bay Street in New Providence and on
the Family Islands during the early morning hours, from 1 a.m. to 9 a.m.
on Boxing Day (the day after Christmas) and again on New Year's Morning.
Junkanoo may also be celebrated on other holidays such as Independence
Day (July 10th). There is also a children's parade called Junior
Junkanoo held in Nassau in mid-December.
