What to Expect at Jamaica Carnival
Events take place in Kingston and Ocho Rios so we recommend splitting your trip between these two destinations so you can experience both destinations. Ocho Rios is also a popular holiday destination so you can get some well-deserved chill time when the parties are over. Expect a buzz of colours, feathers and amazing Jamaican costumes. The streets are lined with traditional Jamaica Dishes for you to try along with a band in every corner, playing anything from traditional Jamaican vibes, to Bob Marley inspired reggae, ska with even a little Jazz thrown in. Ensuring everyone has a place to enjoy the music they love. Expect happy faces everywhere, tons of people dancing, taking part in the festivities and most of all really enjoying themselves. Wave goodbye to your inhibitions – you don’t need them here!
If you’re looking to book your next party filled holiday than look no further than Jamaica Carnival. You really do get the best of both worlds, you can bask in the Jamaican sunshine whilst listening to traditional and more well-known tunes all whilst being in such an amazing country. Why not extend your stay another week so that you can unwind. Jamaica has so much to see and do; laze on picture-perfect beaches, enjoy a vast range of water sports, visit a rum distillery or marvel at many natural wonders.
What to See and Do in Jamaica
If you stay in Ocho Rios where many Jamaica Carnival events take place, there is plenty to see and do. Ocho Rios is a beach resort lined with hotels and lots of opportunities for exploring nature and adrenaline activities.
