According to history, Fox Hill residents, located a great distance from the city, did not learn of Emancipation until a week after its proclamation. Thus, symbolically, they celebrate this historic occasion a week later than the general population. Gospel concerts at various churches in the morning are followed by a festive afternoon centred around a cookout of native culinary specialties at Freedom Park, Fox Hill. A must for boating enthusiasts and yachtsmen cruising to The Bahamas for the first time. A tradition of pomp and pageantry marking the changing of the Guard at Government House.
