.EVERY Wednesday night, Christie Park is transformed into an organised festival ground to house hundreds of Junkanooers who come to feel the rush from the beat of the drum and the clang of the cowbells. The unmistakable sound of Junkanoo reverberates from inside the park and echoes all the way down Nassau Street.
Musicians from the Roots Junkanoo group take centre stage to tune up their sound for the Boxing Day and New Year’s Day Junkanoo parades. Roots devotees and faithful Junkanoo lovers line all sides of the park as spectator-participants, connecting with that earthy sound speaking directly to their spirits. Food, music and all manner of spirits you can find on the park grounds.
