Jamaica jumps to life with music and dancing as the island commemorates the anniversary of its independence, which took place in 1962. Costumes depicting different aspects of Jamaican culture sashay through the centre of Kingston during the gala parade.
Celebrations run up to Emancipation Day on the 6th of August, when traditional Junkanoo dancers recall the days of slavery and modern day Jamaican culture is celebrated in all its exotic glory.
Event details can change. Please check with the organisers that the event is happening before making travel arrangements.
