Junkanoo has taken on a whole new
meaning here on our beautiful islands. Even the tiny tots are
now dressing in costumes and moving to the sounds of the
junkanoo beat.
Over the past few years, school administrators have
|
been encouraged by the Bahamas Ministry of Culture to
participate in end of year competitions with other schools,
dubbed “Junior Junkanoo”. On December 16th school children from
all over Eleuthera came together and put on a spectacular
performance for a crowd of locals and visitors. |

The
high schools vied amongst themselves and the primary did
likewise. Much effort was put into creating their individual
costumes, and the day of the parade was filled with excitement
as they gathered in Governor’s Harbour to ‘rush’ for
their individual groups. |
The
energy was invigorating as the youngsters rushed to the junkanoo
beat. It was a fabulous parade, and everyone had a grand time!
Junkanoo is definitely here to stay. |
