Your Christmas holiday on Eleuthera will be one to remember after experiencing the ALL Eleuthera Junkanoo Parade.

The Christmas holiday is celebrated in The Bahamas with many carnivals and festivals. We also have adopted many of the same traditions and customs of other countries. These include gift-giving, feasting and sending Christmas cards.

This holiday was granted to slaves the day after Christmas, when they were given the boxes left over from their master’s gifts. These boxes usually were sent from England and were well-crafted from fine wood. Hence the holiday is known as Boxing Day.

Junkanoo parades take place on some islands to commemorate the day.

Majority Rule Day became a public holiday in 2014. It commemorates The Bahamas gaining majority rule for the first time on January 10, 1967, symbolizing the promise of equality, a level playing field, and fair play for all Bahamians.

Along with the emancipation from slavery in 1836, and gaining Independence from Great Britain in 1973, the achievement of Majority Rule is considered one of the most important events in the history of the country.

Bahamas Hope Challenge is not a race. It's a gathering of people who cycle, run, or walk distances of their own choosing and at their own pace. It's all for the greater good of helping fellow Bahamians fight cancer and increase their survivorship.

Donations are welcome.!
