AdvertoriAl The Bahamas Festival time in The Written by Elaine Monica Davis Bahamas! Y ou’ve heard the saying: “It’s festival time again!” Yes, it’s a very common expression, as the Caribbean is replete with festivals of one kind or another — celebrating food, drink, culture, dance, and the list continues. But while festivals and Carnivals indeed dominate the Caribbean landscape every month of the year, the islands of The Bahamas alone have a smorgasbord of activities, The islands of The Bahamas have a smorgasbord of activities, every single beautiful, sun-splashed month of the calendar year every single beautiful, sun-splashed month of the calendar year. But more on that in another issue! Right now, looming on our spectacularly beautiful Bahamian horizon is Bahamas Junkanoo Carnival 2017! Yes, BJC 2017 is almost here. But keep calm and prepare to travel to The Bahamas — you still have time to be a part of this absolutely unique, unifying, and ultraspecial experience that only happens in The Bahamas. April 28 and 29 will be here before we know it, and people from all over the world are looking forward to the amazing time they will have in Grand Bahama, with the Carnival Kick Off scheduled for Taino Beach, Freeport. Local musical giants like Music Masters 2016 winner Fanshawn Taylor, 2015 winner Sammie Starr, together with Lady “E” and a host of other mega-talented Bahamian contenders, will again showcase their creative, lyrical, and performing talent to the world. Who will emerge victorious in the semi-final competition on the night of 29 April? Who will go on to magical mastery the following week in Nassau, during the BJC extravaganza from 4 to 6 May? Taino Beach and Da Cultural Village will host artistic history once again and lift the eager and excited patrons to heights as never before. You cannot afford to miss the op- portunity to be a part of this stunningly exhilarating array of cultural creativity, fabulous food, and romantic relaxation — and be in The Bahamas at the same time.
