Jumbay Village Heritage Day

Remembering the cultural village that sat on Nassau's waterfront and gave visitors and locals a taste of Junkanoo, rake and scrape, and Bahamian craft traditions all in one place. Jumbay Village was where schoolchildren went on field trips and where a tourist could finally understand what all the noise on Bay Street was about. The village is gone now, but the culture it showcased never left.
