Junkanoo art
If there is a souvenir that is closest to the culture of the Bahamas, it has to be Junkanoo art. Junkanoo is an annual street parade featuring people dressed in colorful costumes, fancy headdresses, and unusual masks.

Batik is the signature fabric of the Bahamas, which is used to make beautiful clothes, tablecloths, and accessories. It has a pattern that is complemented by seahorses, hibiscus flowers, and corals.
