His Majesty King Charles III viewed a Bahamian cultural exhibition at Parliament Square, October 28, 2026 with the added spice and verve of a Junkanoo Parade that gave a glimpse of the vibrancy of these islands and cays.
His Majesty, accompanied by the Minister of Culture, Arts and Heritage the Hon. Leslia Miller-Brice, toured vendors and stalls showcasing Junkanoo pasting, Junkanoo drum making, Bahamian farmers, conch salad, conch fritters, Bahamian teas, hot sauce, stone and wood carving, straw bags, guava duff, sugarcane juicing, Bahamian jams, and sponge making.
After viewing the Bahamian goods and interacting with the vendors, His Majesty proceeded across Bay Street to greet enthusiastic members of the public. He then went to the edge of Parliament Square to encounter the dynamic sights and sounds of a Junkanoo parade featuring combined Junkanoo groups.
He was accompanied in the lively parade by Minister Miller-Brice and the Minister of Agriculture and Marine Resources the Hon. Jomo Campbell.
