Grand Market is a Christmas Eve street festival  where vendors, families, and revelers fill the

Here’s a breakdown of what we know, what’s confirmed, and what to watch out for.

Every year, as the Christmas breeze sweeps across Jamaica and the island comes alive with food, music, and family gatherings, another beloved tradition takes center stage—the Jamaican Christmas Pantomime. For generations, this annual theatrical production has been a vibrant symbol of the island’s creativity, humour, and cultural pride.

In just a few years, Shenseea has transformed from a promising young Jamaican artist into one of the most dynamic and recognizable names in global music. Her rise is a testament to talent, versatility, fierce determination, and the unstoppable energy that defines modern dancehall.

When the Christmas season rolls around in the Caribbean, one drink appears on nearly every table — sorrel. Made from the sepals of the Hibiscus sabdariffa plant, this ruby-red beverage is more than just a refreshing drink; it’s a symbol of festivity, heritage, and togetherness.

Here’s a deeper look into the current state of Jamaica post-Melissa, and what can be done — by government, communities, the private sector and international partners — to help the country rebuild stronger, fairer and more resilient.

In late October 2025, the tropical cyclone now known as Hurricane Melissa rapidly intensified and headed straight for the island of Jamaica. Initially monitored on October 16 as a tropical wave, Melissa became a named storm on October 21. Over the days that followed, the system moved slowly over very warm Caribbean waters and underwent extreme rapid intensification, reaching Category 5 strength with sustained winds estimated around 160 mph (≈257 km/h) as it neared landfall.

When you think of Jamaica, images of reggae rhythms, turquoise waters, and vibrant culture spring to mind — but no symbol captures the island’s spirit quite like Wray & Nephew White Overproof Rum. Bold, fiery, and unapologetically Jamaican, this legendary rum isn’t just a drink — it’s a national treasure.

If there’s one dish in Jamaica that truly captures the island’s fearless flavor and cultural flair, it’s Mannish Water. Often described as a soup with attitude, this fiery goat-head broth isn’t just food — it’s folklore, celebration, and a taste of Jamaica’s untamed spirit in every sip.

Famous for its breathtaking Seven Mile Beach, dramatic cliffs, and relaxed vibe, Negril offers visitors the best of both worlds—serene natural beauty and vibrant island culture.

Every third Monday in October, Jamaicans pause to remember the legacy of those whose courage, vision and selflessness have shaped the nation. In 2025, Heroes’ Day falls on Monday, October 20, but the weekend around it — often called “Heroes’ Weekend” — becomes a time for festivities, reflection, reconnection, and celebration.

If you ask a Jamaican what dish best represents their island, chances are you’ll hear one answer: ackee and saltfish. This vibrant, savory meal is more than just food—it’s a piece of culture, history, and identity served on a plate.
