Junkanoo Celebrates Island Culture at Lookout Cay on Lighthouse Point

Lighthouse Point, Disney Cruise Line‘s newest destination located on Eleuthera’s southernmost tip is now home to vibrant Junkanoo celebrations at Disney Lookout Cay. In “Rush! A Junkanoo Celebration,” local Junkanooes sound a conch shell, inviting guests to join a colorful parade of dancing and music, culminating at the Goombay Cultural Center with Mickey Mouse and friends. Junkanoo is a local Bahamian festival that is packed with joyous music and vibrant parades.
