The Bahamian American Cultural Society, Inc. (BACS) announces its special event, The Bahamas Culture Day 2008. On Sunday, August 31, 2008 from 12 noon until 12 midnight all roads will lead to Pier 66 Maritime on the Hudson River at West 26th Street & 12th Avenue, New York City.
Bahamas Culture Day is designed to refresh life and enliven the spirit. For the past 10 years people in increasing numbers came from all over the Atlantic States and the Islands to enjoy both the unique expressions of Bahamian Culture and its blend with other African, Caribbean, and American Cultures.
Again, The Bahamas Culture Day will have something for the whole family. Each person will be able to enjoy, relax, have fun and learn. There will be traditional and contemporary Bahamian music by local Bahamian-American artists. Special features will include the innovative and intensely soulful Bahamian Jazz artist, Desiree Cox. The display of this extraordinarily talented artist’s paintings will give as taste of the healing power of the Bahamian Cultural expressions ( www.soulimagination.org). Visitors and participants will be able to view, sample, and buy product from multiple Bahamian vendors and artisans. You can view, sample, and buy. From a creative Junkanoo workshop, all will be able to participate in a Rush-Out mini Junkanoo Parade. There will be lots to eat, lots to see, lots to do – all with a Bahamian taste and flare. Come, enjoy and dance the day away into the next
