Junkanoo Cultural Tour at Bahamas

Junkanoo Cultural Tour at Bahamas is a cultural tour to experience the Bahamian culture. The museum was small but filled with lot of costumes and  rich in history. The tour guide and her husband explained   the history and go from room to room. The last room we went was the most interesting one, we were  had a chance to make our own mini float, have a sample of the most well known beverage and shown how to play the instruments like drums,cowbells and whistles from then we were all experienced the Junkanoo celebration right inside the museum.

Video is not allowed inside the museum but you can take a  lot of photos and we had a chance to wore some costumes but geez  its so heavy that  I don't like to move.As you know the costumes are made of cardboard or wood, crepe paper, tie wire,  and lots of glue.Imagine yourself wearing the costumes from headdress, shoulder piece and skirt  and then dance in a street.
 Junkanoo have different theme and costume competition and whoever wins the costume's creation will be displayed in  Junkanoo museum.
Junkanoo is parade occurs in Nassau held on Boxing Day on December 26 and New Year's Day  from 2:00 a.m. until 8:00 a.m.

  2. I like those colorful craft, very bright and appealing to the eyes! I've been to several cultural tours in Asia and Europe. Each tour is unique in many ways than the others and each tour gives us more info about the country and the culture, more of an immersion trip.

  3. Cultural tours are the best! I always make sure we get to do this when we go traveling! It sums up the whole experience and allows for us to experience how the locals live/lived. :)
