TCI Junkanoo Museum<br />
Preserving island culture in <strong>the</strong> 21st century.<br />
By Abigail Parnell<br />
If you have ever attended <strong>the</strong> Turks & Caicos’ Island Fish Fry (now held in The Bight on Thursday evenings)<br />
or post-Christmas Maskanoo event, you’ve probably reveled in <strong>the</strong> irresistible rhythm <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> drums,<br />
whistles, horns, and cow bells <strong>of</strong> Junkanoo. This festival <strong>of</strong> intoxicating sound and colorful costumes<br />
is a celebration <strong>of</strong> culture not to be missed. Fortunately, Junkanoo is still alive and kicking and <strong>the</strong> TCI<br />
Junkanoo Museum is one place you can learn more about it.<br />
