Event Details

Jamaica Carnival 2025 (Bacchanal)

Add this incredible party experience to your Jamaica holiday (you will need a week on the beach to recover afterwards!) Jamaica Carnival, also known as Bacchanal, is definitely a Carnival you should add to your bucket list and attend at least once in your lifetime, as it really is a spectacular event. Not your average street party, Jamaica Carnival is all about the people of Jamaica and a celebration of heritage and local customs.

Expect beach parties, street parties, breakfast fetes, concerts and street parades!  Jamaica Carnival also includes an event called J’ouvert where everyone throws paint and powder at each other – it is is as messy as it sounds, but so much fun!

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. The famous Dunn’s River Falls waterfall is very close by – no trip to Jamaica is complete without this!  Mystic Mountain is a fun day out with water slides, zip lining, theme park and bob sledding through the rainforest.

I would highly recommend using SN Travel. They are very efficient and good at what they do. They sourced my flight and put together a nice itinerary which was clear and concise. SN Travel took the stress out booking my own flight

I have been dealing with SN Travel for a considerable amount of time now, especially helping out for family and friends. The service from SN Travel has always been top tier and nothing is ever complicated from the get go. A seamless experience everytime despite how stressful travelling can sometimes be. Nonetheless, J'sade has been a top champ from day one i first made contact with this company. I always recommend him to not just family but also friends. He goes above and beyond and always very informative of options which is what i appreciate also. He is a valuable asset to the company and I wish him nothing but the best in all his endeavours. Thank you🙏🏾
