Educulture Junkanoo Museum And Resource Centre — Attraction in New Providence

My family visited the Educulture Junkanoo Museum as part of a cruise ship tour. This visit was absolutely the highlight of the tour! The owners, Arlene and her husband, had so much joy and passion to share that we were all swept up in the experience! The story of the Junkanoo traditions, costumes, and music were presented with such care for detail and love! For those that have the pleasure of living in Nassau please venture over and check it out; Arlene even runs a camp for children in the upstairs area of what was once her childhood home! I’m a retired teacher and this visit left me wanting to share the Junkanoo story with friends and family; maybe even visiting Nassau on December 25th sometime in the future!

We visited Educulture Junkanoo Museum while in Nassua. The owner Silabert Ferguson was so welcoming. We were able to get in on a scheduled tour group that was arriving. The explanation of the holiday was so informative and exposed us to culture practices of the Bahamas we were nor familiar with. The costumes on display were made by him for his wife, Arlene. She was leading another tour so we didn't meet her but so enjoyed learning about her award winning Junkanoo performances and costumes! The museum is located in her family home. Her family has a long history on the island and was a major force in having Junkanoo Festivals revived region wide. This is fun stop and a great visit into...
