There's still time to catch the second -- and most frenzied -- instalment of Junkaroo, an annual Bahamian festival featuring wild parades, brightly costumed dancers and hordes of revellers.
The event is actually split into two parades: one on Boxing Day, and the other on New Year's Day (starting at 2 a.m. and ending at dawn). Participants, arranged in groups of up to 1,000, are typically organized around a theme, reminiscent of New Orleans' Mardi Gras and Rio de Janeiro's Carnival.
The most elaborate Junkanoo parade takes place in Nassau, but others are planned for Grand Bahama, Eleuthera, Bimini and Abaco.
