As the Bahamas embarks on its 51st year of independence, the government has unveiled an inspiring theme for the 2024 celebrations: “One People: United in Love and Service.” The holiday also highlights national symbols such as the Bahamian flag, which features three horizontal stripes (two aquamarine, one gold) and a black triangle at the hoist. This day serves as a reminder of the Bahamas’ journey to self-governance and its cultural heritage. It’s an occasion for Bahamians to reflect on their national identity, achievements, and future aspirations.
