Junkanoo combines elaborate costumes, music and dance. Its best-known parades take place around Boxing Day and New Year’s Day, with celebrations rooted in Bahamian community life.

The flag combines aquamarine, gold and black. The national arms feature a marlin and flamingo supporting a shield beneath a conch-shell crest.
