Street festival celebrating Coconut Grove's historic Bahamian community, founded in 1977 by longtime Grove residents. It once drew crowds in the hundreds of thousands along Grand Avenue before lapsing around 2014; the City of Miami and Miami-Dade County revived it in 2022 with Junior Junkanoo and Bahamian Junkanoo parades as centerpieces. It remains one of South Florida's longest-running Caribbean heritage celebrations.
