Summary
Junkanoo’s official season has begun with a powerful cultural declaration from Minister Leslia Brice, who redefined it as a nationwide movement—not just a Bay Street parade—rooted in Bahamian heritage and community spirit. With seed funding distributed to groups and listening sessions held across islands, the Ministry is actively engaging with Junkanoo creators to understand their needs, protect their spaces, and build sustainable support. Five key commitments—Listen, Protect, Professionalize, Expand, Empower—are driving policy changes aimed at strengthening this vital tradition year-round, ensuring Junkanoo thrives for generations while honoring those who’ve carried its rhythm through sacrifice and creativity.
