As Nassau & Paradise Island’s biggest celebration, it’s both a parade and a party — with large groups dressed in elaborate costumes, dancing down the street to the sounds of drums, horns, bells, and whistles. There are two main events on Boxing Day and New Year’s Day, and both generally run from 2:00 AM – 10:00 AM. Learn all about Junkanoo in our blog!

The end of the year is fast approaching, and there are so many ways to celebrate. If you’re lucky enough to be ringing in 2024 in paradise, start making your event reservations now.
