The Office of the Prime Minister is aware of false reports circulating on social media that the Saxons Superstars Junkanoo Group received permission from the Competent Authority to hold a parade on Bay Street.

This report is untrue. The Competent Authority has not issued permission to the Saxons or any other Junkanoo group to hold a parade.

As announced last month by the Ministry of Youth, Sports and Culture, all Junkanoo parades have been postponed indefinitely due to the COVID-19 pandemic and based on the advice of public health officials.
