The story
Harbour Island Junkanoo in Harbour Island
Harbour Island runs its own Boxing Day and New Year's Day Junkanoo along Bay Street in Dunmore Town, smaller and more intimate than Nassau's parade, with costumed groups, goombay drums and cowbells moving through the dark streets while visitors are often pulled directly into the dancing.
Dunmore Town on Harbour Island holds its own Junkanoo on the same two mornings as the rest of the Bahamas - Boxing Day, December 26, and New Year's Day - but at a fraction of Nassau's scale, which is exactly what makes it distinct.
