Rent Minivan in Nassau

The main venue for the parades is the central Bay Street, and the bulk of the entertainments take place on the waterfront. A concert venue is equipped here for famous musicians and dancers invited to the festival. At open-air stalls, guests are offered popular foods and refreshing drinks. The history of this colorful festival is very interesting. Hundreds of years ago, British slave owners gave freedom to their slaves only one day a year - on Christmas. In honor of this significant event, slaves organized a colorful holiday with a costume procession and entertainments, which lasted until late at night. Even though slavery times are long gone for the Bahamas, the tradition of holding a bright festival on Christmas Eve has been preserved.

Travelers visiting Nassau at the end of May will have the opportunity to witness the annual Caribbean Music Festival. Its three-day program is not limited to musical performances alone. Only local bands took part in the festival in its early years, and now it attracts foreign performers from many foreign countries. The festival program is so rich that a series of musical performances lasts more than twenty days, and local music and folklore groups still have a leading role in it. Apart from music concerts, guests of this holiday can enjoy gastronomic entertainment, master classes, colorful fairs, and exciting children's activities.
