These two photos capture a bit of the beauty of Junkanoo. Bear in mind that this group had 1800 members and was one of 7 that boasted this many members plus there were many small groups. These large groups contained bands, dancers, floats and all wore elaborate costumes. The festivities began at 2Am on both December 26th and January 1st ending in late morning or early afternoon. All Bahamians take great pride in this spectacle! The spectators cheer their favorites and hotly debate the winning entrees and contest the judges choices. It is quite moving and amusing!
