NASSAU, Bahamas – A marvelous collection of keepsake photos was originally posted on Facebook by Celebrate Bahamas and reposted by Denise Mortimer on Wednesday, July 26, 2023. We decided to share some of them with readers of BAHAMAS CHRONICLE, which has a huge following among the Bahamian diaspora across the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom as well as in The Bahamas and the wider Caribbean. The photos were posted with the following narrative:
RELIVING THE SPECTACLE: A VIBRANT NATIONAL FLOAT PARADE!
The streets came alive with boundless energy and excitement during the National Float Parade, as our nation eagerly celebrated its 50th Independence. Colorful floats, each one as beautiful as the last, paraded through the electric atmosphere. The crowd lined the streets, waving flags in the festive spirit that united us.
The festivities continued as Bahama Rock, the National Concert, took center stage later that night. With the captivating sounds of Bahamian artists, and rhythmic dances, the night came alive, truly reflecting the heart and soul of our rich heritage.
It was an experience that touched every soul, leaving us brimming with pride as we celebrated the Golden Jubilee year of Independence with great anticipation.
